clicks and cuts

closing time, originally uploaded by third uncle.

while reading an interview with collage artist extraordinaire, and sometime monday night drinking pal, alexis mackenzie, i was linked to these amazing electromagnetic sound recordings by christina kubisch. at times sounding like something off a mille plateaux comp, at others something more abstract; these are some of the most curious and hauntingly beautiful sound recordings i've ever heard. like tapping into the ghost in the machine. it's fascinating to think of all this sensory activity buzzing around us that is mostly left unheard. rhythmic blips and clicks keeping time between modulating waveforms; a vast symphony performed by the hidden mechanisms of our modern world.
