Low power FM radio transmission of found and donated sounds within a 10 mile radius in the middle of one of the darkest and really quite remote places on earth in Galloway Forest in Dumfriesshire. Including transmissions from a Russian woman cosmonaut who didn't come back. The found sounds are transmitted once and then deleted. The whole project is then linked with a book festival in one of the most out of the way towns nearby.

My kind of art project.

William Gibson, Pattern Recognition? Perhaps it needs an augmented reality artifact only visible if you're in exactly the right Lat-Long coordinates and with the right software on your clever phone.

I am not finding anything in Google for "Irina Veselovsky", is she a made up character?

Could well be. There were always rumours of CCCP failures that were hushed up. So perhaps its some alternate history where the retro rockets failed to fire and a capsule was left up there.

Alternative history known to one person, I guess. I don't belive out of all people this station would be first to get their hands on such a transmission.
