Airstream

This is a sound work composed live with improvisational signal-processed room tone, white noise, and electronic hum. It includes the sound of my finger brushing over and around my laptop's built-in mic.

Precursors to this version were broadcast on Radio Kinesonus in collaboration with Tetsuo Kogawa, and performed at CSPS alternative space in concert with Tape Beatles and Eric Carroll.

Three 'streams' of room tone were collected, amplified, filtered, and processed. The resonances of air were subject to the limitations of the laptop's built-in mic and the actions of the performer.
