Doing no justice to this great short story, I used the randomly generated number 4 to determine the track, played it from my MacBook and recorded it using Audiocopy on my iPad about a foot away to get some open air and opportunity to introduce stray white noise (and/or office sounds) into the texture.  Put this and the original download in GarageBand '08, made a couple of copies of the tracks, staggered them slightly, applied some probably very easily identified effects here and there, and tacked on a couple of seconds at the end for length.

A very short story, meant to reassure. All is well. There is no need to worry about anything.

Cotton Balls In Your Ears

Exploring "rauschen" -- blurred, diffuse, continuous noise -- in sonic collage of lo-fi field recordings made on public transportation in Chicago and Hong Kong, in airports (Mumbai, Omaha), and on transatlantic flight from Mumbai to Newark, for Disquiet Junto Project 0398.

Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the German word “rauschen.” Understand that “rauschen” is noise in the sense of white noise, waterfall noise, background noise, static, wind in trees, rain, etc. The blurred, diffuse, continuous kind of noise, not short individual non-tonal sounds.

Step 2: Consider that the word “rauschen” is half of the family name of the late artist Robert Rauschenberg, who was famed for his collages.

Step 3: Record several “rauschen” noises and make a sonic collage of them.
