Artist's description:
This is an aleatoric piece.
It was generated through the Cakeawalk Pro Audio "extract rhythm" function performed on radio static that had been noise reduced numerous ways with various settings, which generated a rhythm in on a single note in a midi track.
This was done many times and the result transposed and combined to give several "melodies" on a few midi tracks.
Next I used these tracks to drive my synthesizer after programming various timbres and such, recording the sound on a corresponding audio track, which was then panned as I wished.
The noise reduced version of the source is included in various places. Towards the end you get to hear the source material used to generate the "music".
Contributors:
A cheap radio and an external LPT connected sound card to my 486SX laptop.
The terrible reception inside the Amoco Research Center.
Casio CZ-101 which is actually quite a good synth.
Inspiration:
All of the aleatoric composers before me.

Nice. I like the development in sounds.
