SNEAK PEEK: Cut & Splice Festival 2017 / Manchester

Cloud refers to the technological process of storing data as Public Clouds, Private Clouds, Hybrid Clouds or Community Clouds. The origins of the sounds are the electromagnetic fields of digital transfer loci like server rooms, security systems, electrical power stations and other places of dense electrical activity in Europe, Canada, the United States and China. Electromagnetic waves that are normally imperceptible to us become audible. Cloud is a drone piece created from the material sounds of cloud computing.
