Nico, Munsha and Knifeloop having some fun.

Mammalian - Interface - Demo1

The installation "Music For Toilets" was first created by Seamus O'Donnell in 1999 on an old Reel-to-Reel tape machine. With an old reel tape of classical hits, a sampler and a chaos pad he redefined the sounds density to achieve something disturbingly close to the frequency of our bowels.
The original installation was played on the Reel-to-Reel machine with which he created it; secured to the ceiling of the restroom, out of reach. This was exhibited at the LSD bar, Expo3000 gallery and at the "Lange Nacht der Wissenschaft" - Technical University in Berlin. Due to the difficulty in transporting such heavy equipment "Music For Toilets" appeared in the restrooms of the Belltable arts center, Limerick, Ireland on a CD player at the Apostates exhibition in 2007.

Music For Toilets (excerpt)

Three or four radio receivers and two to four mini-FM transmitters, each transmitting on a different frequency what it is being fed from the receivers or what it picks up from the near field chaos surrounding it. The transmission between the devices is affected by what frequency the receivers are tuned to, the immediate electro-magnetic field, human presence and furniture. The signal is not a sound loop travelling in the area of intervention, but a spontaneous event, resulting from collective action in perpetual movement.

This is an extract from the stereo mix down of a 6 channel installation that contains field recordings (some pure, some manipulated) from Berlin, Buenos Aires, Prag, Spain and Ireland. They are combined to form a new kind of audio journey that is essentially in your own head, only being helped along by the sounds that you hear. </p>
<p>Presented in a small darkened room as a part of the <a href="http://www.terminal08.org/" target="_blank">Terminal08</a>/<a href="http://salonbruit.org/" target="_blank">Salon Bruit</a> exhibition titled &quot;Ha&#322;as, Szum, Cisza&quot;, Gorzow, Poland 30.03.12  - 20.04.12
