Description:

This is a spoken, light-hearted goodbye from a woman in a relationship with the terrestrial musical airwaves. This piece personifies FM as a lover who has become sterile, repetitive, automated and disillusioned. The female narrator pleads with the transmitter while it responds with gimmicky pre-recorded sound effects. Songs in the background punctuate the emotion and is a consistent reminder of what was once beautiful, but now, lost.
