James Sizemore
[Aleatory]
Sound designer and film composer, James Sizemore, wrote an original computer program which filters out frequencies of a given sound source and maps the remaining pitches to their approximate musical tones. This particular piece was extracted from a children’s cartoon on television and transposed for MIDI piano. Both are presented here, synchronously, for the first time.

[Creative Static]
This piece is a collection of raw transmissions captured from a transistor radio. The result is an eerily deliberate-sounding blend of biting, Stockhausen style cacophonies and meditative, Brian Eno-like soundscapes.
Billy Joel

Must be heard to be believed.
