Projects/Aural Codes {image:auralcodes.jpeg} {link:Volkmar Klien|http://www.volkmarklien.com}: Concept, Production and Max/MSP\\ Nick Rothwell: Perl and Linux\\ Barriedale Operahouse: Administration\\ Michael Wieser: Wireless Serial Communication {quote} 'aural codes' rewires computer networks to am - radio. it interpretes data streams of computer networks in the region as digital representations of sound and uses some of them as sound-sources, others as process-controls. the sound sources are fed into a dsp - blackbox controlled by the process-controls. additionally interactive gateways are spread over the local area (serial-sockets on street corners, etc.) giving the audience the chance to enhance their local bit of ubiquity. thus a hybrid network of possibilities of influences is set up. the resulting stream of sonic events is modulated onto a carrier-frequency and broadcast via radio as a reassuringly meaningless noiseband hidden between all the other noises in the AM-range. every sonic event is information and via the mediator energy-exchange, all information can become a sonic event. 'aural codes' is a hearing aid, a hearing aid for listening in its widest sense. something that originally cannot be heard is transposed into something that - without technical equipment - cannot be heard. \-\- Volkmar Klien. {quote} More information from the {link: Aural Codes website|http://www.aural-codes.com}. 1 Recent Broadcasts - November 25th 2001 - January 14th 2002: local diffusion at Huddersfield Media Centre as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary music Festival. - October 24th - november 17th 2001: transmission as part of Digital Summer and Futuresonic from Idea's Dadi Building.
