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).
