Machines with their inherent rhythms make for some surprisingly musical sounds as output. I think the sound of a copier should be transformed into a musical composition. 

Making Copies

Sometimes, in the perfect nook outside a building, the wind bends and curves, breathing life into some crunchy leaves that had fallen, choreographing a cyclic dance. In this recording, this sound is accompanied by various ambient outside sounds, like the passing of cars and the singing of birds.

Me reading my Vowel Spiral Poem, written by a program I wrote in Python that uses the CMU pronunciation dictionary.

Vowel Spiral Poem

Susan on Loop

A poem in the original, and then scratched. See documentation here: http://www.phasesofsputnik.com/blog/scratched-poems-poetic-collaboration-with-a-mind-machine/
