This weekend's conference will be a fleeting moment, but fortunately we have expressions from Deep Wireless performers past and present to prep our ears for the gathering and, when we're back home next week with our ears still buzzing, to remind us of what was (and what could be next year).
 The annual Deep Wireless Radio Art compilation is a fine representation not only of what you'll experience at the RWB conference, but of how artists and producers are considering, utilizing, massaging, and expanding the radio spectrum as a tool for delivering mind-expanding audio transmissions in the current calendar year. Each of the four two-disc comps that precede this year's salvo cherry-pick different approaches to art on the radio: from soundscapes to documentaries, from music to words, from the real to the unreal. We invite you to explore the sonic surprises in this year's Deep Wireless comp, and to take a journey into year's past using the online archives (2004 / 2005 / 2006 / 2007). You could literally spend hours with what's available here, so if you can't muster the time to involve yourself with these archives now, bookmark this post and come back when you have a chance -- your ears will thank you later.
And as part of this month-long Deep Wireless celebration that is coming to a close, the excellent CBC storytelling experiment Outfront has commissioned four audio delights to further whet your appetite:
