On the conceptual side of the show, it was interesting and quite enjoyable to experience the auditory immersion of two contrasting elements from the radio performance: the natural sound of water, with organic flow and rhythm (almost a bodily experience to listen to), and the questioning and answering around the concepts of ‘being experimental’ and ‘protocols’, which embody control, rules, and systematic procedures.

***RADIO WORM***

Week 0, 1609


Week 1, 2309

Last week before the show, the team of week1 asked us to upload songs that are related to our memories on the wiki page, and they mixed them together with audio from the field recordings/memories during the show. Fred briefly showed us how he worked with Ableton.

  • The hosts listened to all the recordings to become familiar with them and already had some ideas for possible pairings.
  • From what I saw on Sevgi's wiki page, it seems like she also assigned keywords to each song for a better flow during the radio performance.
  • Used a MIDI controller with labelled pads as a trigger. MIC were off most of the time.
  • About 20mins break? (wyn's mix was nice, very fitting)


Web Audio API

Using the Web Audio API

Your use case will determine what tools you use to implement audio. If you want to control playback of an audio track, the <audio> media element provides a better, quicker solution than the Web Audio API. If you want to carry out more complex audio processing, as well as playback, the Web Audio API provides much more power and control.
A powerful feature of the Web Audio API is that it does not have a strict "sound call limitation". For example, there is no ceiling of 32 or 64 sound calls at one time. Some processors may be capable of playing more than 1,000 simultaneous sounds without stuttering.

Tri-Phonic Turntable reminded me of previous works of Christian Marclay.

Week 2, 3009

radio performance

  • Sound of Rotterdam featured field recordings, interviews, etc
  • Used WORM's CDJ equipment
  • A microphone was used to read aloud live chat messages about the Rotterdam experience.
  • There was sound overlapping; Melisa created smooth transitions between sounds using Audacity.
  • From a production perspective, it was tricky to control the volume levels and the pitch of each audio file.

after lunch
Eleni and Kim’s web audio interface on cereal box was impressive! Michael demonstrated how to create our own customized search HTML linked to archive.org.

Internet Archive

Internet archive is a non-profit library that was founded to bring all of human knowledge online and make it accessible for free to everyone. The internet archive was founded in 1996 and our original mission was to archive the internet.

radio performance
week 3 team work log👏

  • Main theme was 'water'
  • Used Touch Designer(inspired by soundboards)
  • Decision not to talk on the show, rather used "weird" narrator in text to speech, different voices and accents (I liked it)
  • Many "PSA" materials (public service announcements)... again from archive.org

On the conceptual side of the show, it was interesting and quite enjoyable to experience the auditory immersion of two contrasting elements from the radio performance: the natural sound of water, with organic flow and rhythm (almost a bodily experience to listen to), and the questioning and answering around the concepts of ‘being experimental’ and ‘protocols’, which embody control, rules, and systematic procedures.
