pd white noise through lattice filter, recorded during Brise Soleil sessions, april ‘12
“I began recording data centers around the time that I was employed at a media company in New York (circa ‘09). This activity has been invigorated through my relocation to Philadelphia and re-employment into the workforce as a member of an IT department for cultural and educational institutions in the city. Each website features a looping field recording of a room that houses and proliferates the digital information for an institution in which I have worked.
The sound has the uniform characteristics of white noise, produced by the fans meant to keep the machinery from overheating, and is shaped by the unique acoustical character of each distinct space. With the websites, the recordings create a feedback loop that the servers hosting them cannot hear; continually cooled by fans in oddly shaped rooms designed without acoustical consideration.”

Vigilance Improvisations is a series of structured frameworks for improvising electronic musicians. The archetypical design consists of two musicians, one working with computer and the other with non-computer electronics, improvising together while following unique visual scores. Each score corresponds to material changes related to the opposing musician’s instrumental sound source. The musicians are instructed to watch a designated meter vigilantly over the course of an improvisation all the while remaining conscious of the possible visual correlations that may or may not be provoked by a chance correspondence between a reading of the meter and the score. The scores are hosted in a folder online and the visual content therein is entirely sourced from the Internet. No recommendations are made concerning sound.

“Impulse Blasts is a sound application for any environment. White noise is generated from the computer and switched on and off for differing lengths of time by a Gaussian variable (see gauss object in patch) whose mean and variance can be tuned as desired.”
Quartet With Pyramid Scheme
QUARTET WITH PYRAMID SCHEME is a streaming online sound installation whose audio content is collected through a sixteen-week pyramid scheme structure (March 11, 2011 - July 1, 2011). Every two weeks, a new set of participants (recruited by prior participants) submits sound samples that the quartet will selectively work into the stream. The samples are played continuously in unpredictable variations through a Max/MSP patch. By the end of the process, 512 participants will have been asked to contribute.
