Covert Wilderness Radio Shows

'The Dark Outside FM' Show Plays One-Use Music in the Wild

— June 26, 2013 — Eco
Playing never-before heard music only once in the middle of nowhere, 'The Dark Outside FM' project hopes to reconnect people with nature. Artists Stuart McLean, Robbie Coleman and Jo Hodges are collaborating to broadcast a full 24 hour radio show to an audience of plants. After playing the new music on The Dark Outside FM, the artists plan on deleting the files so that they will never be heard again. As a result, finding the radio signal is the only way to ever hear The Dark Outside FM's music.

Adventurous music lovers can venture out into the Galloway Forest Park in Scotland this September to catch some rare tunes. Hand-held radios will be placed within range of the broadcast so that anybody in the area can listen in.
Trend Themes
1. One-use Music - There is an opportunity for artists to create unique, one-time musical experiences, appealing to adventurous and nature-seeking audiences.
2. Covert Broadcasting - The concept of broadcasting music only once and deleting the files afterward creates a sense of exclusivity and scarcity, catering to niche audiences.
3. Nature Connection - Projects like 'The Dark Outside FM' highlight the growing trend of using art and technology to reconnect people with nature.
Industry Implications
1. Music Streaming - Streaming platforms and artists can explore innovative ways to offer exclusive, limited-release music experiences for nature enthusiasts and adventurous listeners.
2. Outdoor Events - Event organizers can tap into the demand for unique experiences in nature, creating curated events that combine music, art, and the wilderness.
3. Environmental Conservation - Projects like 'The Dark Outside FM' present an opportunity for environmental organizations to collaborate with artists and leverage technology to raise awareness about nature and conservation efforts.
