Recording made while driving around the multi-story carpark at a former workplace, back in the days when I had a car. AM radio tuned between stations. I have no idea what these were emanating from, but they were at all sorts of places around the structure.

Carpark1

Second recording from the same multi-story carpark. Drove around one more level than the previous recording.

Carpark2

Excerpt from a performance at Silence performance space, Guelph, Ontario. Assorted radios playing emanations from a small theremin.

This is the time-stretched version of a short improvisation on flute through an EHX Stereo Memory Man delay pedal. The repeating bass sound is actually short vocal sounds in the ground loop. The whole thing has been stretched by a factor of ten, which seems to change it to more of a choral sound, with thousands of voices. I had no idea that would happen, so to say that I was blown away on first listening back would be quite an understatement.

And All That There Is Within

A straight-ahead mash-up of Paul H. Muller's piece "May 5 Fragment" from the May 4-6 edition of the Improv Friday discussion and the first half of my thing from a few weeks before, "And All That There Is Within".

And All That May Five

This was made from a segment of another piece, by having two loop segments of different lengths playing against one another and resulting in a constantly shifting field.

Stone Age

Recording of a small brook near South River, ON, Canada. Slowed down and pitch-altered.

Black Metal Brook

The famous Flying Toasters! This is what they actually sound like in flight!

Flying Toasters

Real-time manipulations of a sequence patch on a Roland SE-02.

Ok, I'll admit this one could be more than a little annoying for some folks. A transmitter test signal recorded many years ago and overdubbed at various speeds on an open-reel deck.

Rain Music 1

Recorded for the June 27-29 Sound-In (http://sound-in.org). Small FM radio being manipulated by a Kogawa microFM transmitter (http://www.translocal.jp/radio/micro/howtosimplestTX.html).

Radio Ramblings

Just reallised that I should mention what this site is about. The reason for calling it radionoise is that all of the pieces here were created either using radios, or on a radio programme. In the former case, the sounds are either emanations from other electrical equipment, or created by the interference of two closely tuned radios in close proximity. Unless otherwise specified, no processing was performed on the received signal.
Something I was happy to notice recently is that all of my tracks are specified as 00.0 BPM. YES!!
