Rauschenberg seemed to be a fan of Dadaist Kurt Schwitters (as do I), hence the idea of a collage. A collage needs to have "cut outs" on a "picture frame". 

A websdr recording from http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/ is the frame, starting getting from narrow band to wide band and back to get some variation and acoustic frame borders.

As cut-outs, I used different field recordings of rauschen-like noises (rain, wind, park, water, electronics), destroyed them by cutting them and collaged them back on the frame. Plus some FX, mostly reverb, just to place the sounds in a virtual room and to enhance the feeling of scrap artwork.

(All this destroys the idea of "avoiding short individual non-tonal sounds by using rauschen" and I felt subversive for a few seconds. ;-)

As natural rauschen does seldom come without none-noise, you may hear a couple having fun and a woodpecker (the latter recorded in the english garden in Munich, Germany).

Curly Compositions from a German Composer.

My 33 1/3 series book about the Aphex Twin album <i>Selected Ambient Works Volume II</i> was published in 2014. The book was one of the top 5 bestselling titles for the calendar year, and in 2015 was ranked by Pitchfork as one of the "33 best" of the 100-plus books in the 33 1/3 series. It has subsequently been translated into Japanese (2019) and Spanish (2018)

Since 2012 I have moderated the Disquiet Junto group, which began on SoundCloud. More at disquiet.com/junto. 

I've written for Nature, Pitchfork, The Wire, Down Beat, Boing Boing, NewMusicBox, Red Bull Music Academy, Art Practical, the website of The Atlantic, and many other publications. 

I've exhibited sound art at galleries in Los Angeles (Crewest), Manhattan (apex art), and Dubai (DUTAC), and I had a audio-visual installation at the San Jose Museum of Art as part of its 45th anniversary.

And since 1996 I've run the website Disquiet.com about the intersection of sound, art, and technology.
