The first realisation of Agostino Di Scipio’s Audible Ecosystemic Interface Study: Background Noise at Inspace, Edinburgh, 2010. This was part of a team Digital Media Studio Project while studying for an MSc at Edinburgh University.

Di Scipio’s intention is to make an autonomous, self-regulating system where the environment itself becomes the integral component of the piece. Sound is generated from the ambient noise of a space, captured by microphones and fed back on itself through a system of loudspeakers while being processed in real-time with Max/MSP.

This might explain it more… or not.
