[#capillary bonus track] These bonus tracks are selected from a number of compositions and experiments that became stems for the #capillary soundscape or were created during the writing and production phase of the work.

A recording of the responsive audio soundscape #capillary can be streamed and downloaded from http://aiffhead.bandcamp.com/

#capillary is a recording of a sonified environment prepared for the participatory data visualisation #capillary by artist Brad Miller, producer and sound artist Ian McArthur (aiffhead) and programmer Adam Hinshaw exhibited in Sydney June 7 - July 20 2013.

#capillary is a responsive space featuring crowdsourced visual data (images) and a sonified audio field created from sixteen unique compositions created while travelling on public transport around Sydney. The compositions are constructed from fragments of digital noise, field recordings and audio compositions and additionally processed by a sound patch (granular synthesis) that segments and reassembles them into new configurations, and responsive juxtapositions.

Concept, coding, synths, field recordings, production: aiffhead (Ian McArthur)

The PureData patch originally created by Derek Holzer macumbista.net was subsequently further developed by artist Ian Andrews.

aiffhead - Ecology

'node' is fundamentally constructed from snippets of code that have been drenched in reverb. In keeping with my long term minimalist approach to practice this composition was created with Supercollider and Soundtrack Pro.

aiffhead - node

This is an old track. I have been playing around with remixes of it but have decided to post it in its original form. Raw about the edges, ragged and riffy. Weird storm clouds - or is that someone growling? S-90 short for Strontium 90 of course ;-)

S-90

Although this recording was originally generated completely from within SuperCollider, those of you who know will realise there's been a fair bit of production as well. Mainly to decide which glitches to leave in - or take out, to moderate/modulate some pretty crazy divergences in amplitude, and of course to bring out some of that lovely bass. Other than that I'm pretty speechless. What is this? 

Microzone

A collection of Insect-like code remixed. Is it possible to DJ code then? I say yes!

Bugs

Sometimes zombie synths get trapped in the operating system, processing in the background, inaudible to human ears at least - causing software problems and tricky to find if you don't know where to look...What do they sound like?
