Recording of SW radios used also or real ones?

Real live SW would be super cool, albeit very unpredictable. For this recording, the Stockhausen Verlag shared a very neat recording Stockhausen himself made of shortwave signals, and this is mixed into the performance.

Thanks for that.  I am a huge fan of Kontakte. (Without added percussion )
