Created as a dialogue with the photo book The Buzzer, this record emerges through the collaboration between photographer Miguel Proença (PT) and producer Pedro Augusto (PT). The compositions on this record map the geographic and psychological terrain of the photographs, weaving together field recordings, interviews, and radio signals of UVB-76, a mysterious shortwave radio signal believed to be of Russian military origin. The Buzzer is an immersive acoustic document of a landscape caught between competing narratives, a form of sonic cartography, charting where past echoes and present uncertainties collide.
Pedro Augusto is a Portuguese sound artist and composer working across electronic and experimental music. Active since the early 2000s, he has released numerous solo and collaborative works under the aliases Ghuna X and Live Low, and regularly composes for visual and performing arts. His practice explores the intersections of sound, movement, and chance, often engaging with site-responsive processes. In recent years, Augusto has focused on sound studies, developing the archival project Found Tapes Porto, which investigates the serendipitous discovery of sound as a mode of listening and knowing. He has presented his work in exhibitions, performances, and publications, often blurring boundaries between composition, research, and archival practice. Alongside his artistic work, he is a PhD researcher and Guest Assistant at the Faculdade de Belas Artes, Universidade do Porto. Through his diverse output, Augusto examines how sound can record, shape, and reanimate our experience of place and time.
Miguel Proença is a Portuguese photographer whose work explores identity, memory, and place, often reconsidering dominant narratives through a documentary approach. He draws on both personal and collective histories to question how places are represented and remembered, combining rigorous research with visual storytelling to create layered, reflective bodies of work. His first book, The Buzzer, was shortlisted for major photobook prizes including the MACK First Book Award, the Unseen Dummy Award, and the Fiebre Photobook Award. Proença has exhibited at The Photographers’ Gallery (London), Kubik Gallery (Porto), PhotoVogue Festival (Milan), Encontros da Imagem (Braga), and Unseen Amsterdam, among others. He earned an MA in Documentary Photography from the University of South Wales (2018) and a BA in Audiovisual Communication from the Instituto Politécnico do Porto (2011). In addition to his artistic work, Proença teaches and gives workshops, contributing to photographic education in Portugal, where he is currently based.
