new uses for tin cans

This is my submission to the Science Musem's OraMIX competition - http://oramics.herokuapp.com/ - I used the samples provided by the Daphne Oram Archive, as well as an induction coil recording of the sounds my computer's processor made as I researched online about Oramics and listened to the samples. I used minimal processing, with a tape-based machine in mind, so just lots of splicing/speeding up/slowing down/fading in and out. I think Daphne herself might find it a bit noisy, but I imagined her proudly pulling out all the stops for her first satellite broadcast... 

Let Us Go Further With Tape

an electroacoustic composition featuring all of the sounds my hard-working backpack makes, and especially my tin flask (one of my favourite instruments).
