Ready made art, this is the idea behind each hand made cassette tape, just as artist Marcel Duchamp proposed in 1915. Every tape represents an altered state, a mass produced commodity customised by hand into something individual, like some fictional droid that forms its own character and consciousness once let loose into the world. These are Tapes of Wrath that take as their theme modes of oppression and its continuous defeat by those who resist control. A relentless vigil that takes in the perspective of the flaneur, who strolls through streets of Blade Runner cool, except its set in Charles...
Dolby and dbx noise reduction system
While there are dozens of different kinds of noise reduction, the first widely used audio noise reduction technique was developed by Ray Dolby in 1966. Intended for professional use, Dolby Type A was an encode/decode system in which the amplitude of frequencies in four bands was increased during recording (encoding), then decreased proportionately during playback (decoding). The Dolby B system (developed in conjunction with Henry Kloss) was a single band system designed for consumer products. In particular, when recording quiet parts of an audio signal, the ...
The readymades of Marcel Duchamp are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art".[1] By simply choosing the object (or objects) and repositioning or joining, tilting and signing it, the object became art. As the process involved the least amount of interaction between artist and art, it represented the most extreme form of minimalism up to that time.
Duchamp was not interested in what he called "retinal art" — art that was only visual — and sought other methods of expression. As an ...
hiss and burn, white black pink noise. Tape hiss is the high frequency noise present on analogue magnetic tape recordings caused by the size of the magnetic particles used to make the tape. Effectively it is the noise floor of the recording medium. It can be reduced by the use of finer magnetic particles or by increasing the amount of tape used per second to record a signal. The small amount of noise present in magnetic recordings can be thought of as arising from two separate and distinct causes -
1) Minute magnetic irregularities in the
tape which vary...
Apart from tapenoise, other nom de plumes have been used 1.Headphonesman, of note is terrortubby EP that featured on radio 3's peice in unknown public publcation called 'bloody amateurs'! 2.Dex 7, classics such as slot machine gun from 2002. 3.TapeNoiseSparkyMotion - this was the first name under which things were released into the ether. 4.Boiling Noise, this was a collaboration with 'boiling janice' -nik svarc, when an apple G3 imac was state of the art technology..

This refers to the evolutionary stage which i think we are in at the moment, the market plays a role in determning the viability of things, it has become a global entity that influences things like the weather or temperature does, at the evolutionary level. It has become almost like a living entity in itself, as cruel and yet vulnerable as an organism it can work for us like bacteria in the intestine or it could kill us like a deadly disease. I like the juxtposition of concepts in that the $ell can mean to sell or it could mean...
There is something about the idea of an experiment that seems to have been changed around, to experiment is really important to find things out as a kid we have to do it all the time to learn stuff but somehow the meaning of the word has been changed by science into something else like a job or an academic task, a laboratory service or something. The experiment is so important to our culture and it deserves to be regarded. Exploration of space, the final fronteer of cognitive contour.
I am interested in the idea of process, a process a procession, time itself is a process of decay and entrophy, social systems are processes of social interaction, our political process tries to distribute resources amongst the population in such a way that we dont go to war with each other and capitalism is itself a process where money is shifted around an economic system like a large machine, it prevails because despite its obvious failings. it seems to work better than a system of complete chaos and chance. This system has evolved due to our abilities to use concepts...
