i wouldnt say i *like* it, but i like your story, so here's a bona fide play, plus a comment

this is super beautiful nathaniel .. what's going on?

This sound was *supposed* to be the audio from a tweet, but it seems I uploaded the wrong file by mistake. This is actually some sound I generated a long time ago from some code rather longer than 140 characters.

It works (if I remember right) by having a feedback loop, and then a bunch of pitch trackers trying to track and eliminate any sustained tones that build up. I'm kind of glad I found it actually, because I've since managed to lose the code that generated it.

I would delete the erroneous upload, but a couple of people clicked "like" within half an hour of uploading it - if people like it then I'll happily leave it up for a bit :)  (though having said that, it has two likes but zero plays, so maybe those are just bots or something.)

My piece for the project The opposing Power. Flutes played by 40f (Ann Elkjär, Jill Widén, Sareidah Hildebrand and Anna Svensdotter), electronics performed by World Domination (Me, Jonatan Liljedahl, Daniel Karlsson).
Recorded live in in Härnösand, 20121024.

I'm a scientist studying complex systems and the origins of life - but in my spare time I'm also an experimental musician. Most of the pieces here are SuperCollider tweets, which means sound generated by 140-character pieces of code written in a language called SuperCollider. I post them at https://twitter.com/headcube .

Most of these will go on generating sound forever, but I usually fade them out after a couple of minutes. All of them are available under a do-what-you-want-with-them-as-long-as-you-give-me-credit license. I'm happy to supply longer recordings on request.
