ethersounds

ethersounds is a project under development which will utilise live computer network traffic to trigger and shift various audio dynamics, for example type/source of sound, length, pitch and volume.

The intended result is a visual and audio performance in a public location using available wireless networks to capture a stream of data that in turn dictates the music performed.
