""Tahiti" is a sound abstraction based on a short fragment of "Radio Tahiti" broadcast in the 19 meter band where popular music is heard with brief spoken descriptions in-between. The composition reflects artistically on the distortion experienced by a message through a variable and unpredictable channel like radio transmission in the bands below 30 Mhz, conditioned by the time of day, the time of year, the location of the receiver and the ionospheric propagation conditions, ultimately dependent on solar activity.
Based on the prototypical sound profile that these conditions cause in the reception of shortwave (where the main signal is altered with electrical noises, fading, interferences, echoes and overlaps of random appearance and durations), the work reinterprets the original sound material from a double perspective, timbral and temporal, creating a new discourse that, nevertheless, maintains the essence of the *continuum* sound of popular music from the South Pacific.
