Shortwave~Massacre zerlegt in der Tradition von John Cage Frequenzen eines Weltempfängers mittels distorted Beats und Effektgeräten zu Digitalem Industrial. Das besondere besteht in der Einzigartigkeit dieser improvisierten Live-Performance, denn je nach Ort und Zeit setzt sich das Set aus ganz anderen Geräusche, Stimmen und Musikfetzen zusammen. Die Wiederholbarkeit ist dabei wohl kaum gegeben.

english translation of the review:
Shortwave~Masscacre deconstructs in tradition to John Cage frequencies of a shortwave radio and old style monochrome television. It combines the noises with distorted beats and lot of effects to digital industrial. The specific about this live performance is the uniqueness. There are always different noises, voices and parts of music, depending on the place. There is no repetition possible!

and the slovakian translation (for ears chewing satisfunction):
shortwave~massacre/Viedeň, Rakúsko
Shortwave~Massacre dekonštruuje a tvorí v tradíciach frekvencií krátko vlného rádia a starých čiernobielych televíznych príjmačou podľa John Cagea. Kombinuje rôzne zvuky a hluk so skreslenými rytmami s použitím množstva efektov a vytvára špecifickú digitálnu industriálnu zmes s vzťahom k prostrediu v ktorom sa jeho performance odohráva. Hluky, hlasy hudba všetko sa deje priamo na mieste ako neopakovateľná expresia.

The Slovak Spectator Preview to the Ears Chewing Satisfunction-Bratislava:
...
LIKE to have your ears nibbled? How about devoured by a big bite? Ears Chewing Satisfunction returns to club ucko for a second instalment of what organizing musical collective urbsounds calls "music*notmusic". The event will be supported by live visual performances.
International guests include Audiokollectiv from Berlin, "a collection of people who share this strange affinity for all kinds of crazy flashing and sound-producing machines," and Shortwave~Massacre from Vienna, a group that makes music using the frequencies of a shortwave radio and an old monochrome television. (...)

Wherever we are, what we hear is mostly noise. When we ignore it, it disturbs us. When we listen to it, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 50 m.p.h. Static between the stations. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them, not as sound effects, but as musical instruments.
[John Cage : Future of Music / Credo 1937/58]

Wo immer wir auch sein mögen, meistens hören wir Geräusche. Beachten wir sie nicht, stören sie uns. Hören wir sie uns an, finden wir sie faszinierend. Das Geräusch eines Lastkraftwagens bei 50 Stundenkilometer. Atmosphärische Störungen im Radio. Regen. Wir wollen diese Klänge einfangen und beherrschen, nicht um sie als Klangeffekte einzusetzen, sondern als Musikinstrumente.
[John Cage : Die Zukunft der Musik / Credo 1937/58]
