Chicago Metra - Fontana mix

Part of our Dada Sound project (February 2016) - see more at http://www.citiesandmemory.com/dadasounds

By Jessica Fenlon - reimagining of Metra boarding platform sounds, Chicago.

"This is a more sophisticated DaDa approach - there is a fixed design unfolding over time managing the remix, some of which is generative from the sound files. . . I used a software that remixes the tracks fed into it using algorithms aligned with the rules which determined John Cage's piece, Fontana Mix, for this track. Automation allows for a 'plug and play' generative approach. The 'recipe' for casting the geometries was determined by the programmer. "
