Carrier Wave

Carrier Wave

Suite of pieces. Text, audiovisual, sound, visuals.

Colin Woods 2016/7

 “..a carrier wave, carrier signal, or just carrier, is a waveform (usually sinusoidal) that is modulated (modified) with an input signal for the purpose of conveying information” (Source: Wikipedia)
