Re musique concrete: I generally think of the solely tape recorded and manipulated bits of sound. All the same I worked with various handy digital gadgets recording in long fluid form. First with the Virtual ANS track turning an edited photo of a line of tar patching in the road into audio control. Then with the others, mixing everything together.

Latent audio surfaces brings to mind many things, but here I used an edited image of patched street to be one kind of latent surface, as edited and rendered in Virtual ANS. Other latent surfaces were within the sounds in the EMF flowing all around us. I just caught a few by way of induction. Some of that was done with a free range, humbucking guitar pickup. Some was done with personal stereo gadgets set to AM band radio. Various digital noise, analog static, noise of cassette recorder motors and remote controls also somehow factor in, plus bits of the stations that propagate right by us on their way to any receiver in range. Some tracks were messed with (see below) to make some more tracks.

So, musique asphalt:

—track rendered in Virtual ANS from edited photo (of line in street created by tar patch) further edited in Virtual ANS

—various induction tracks via free range humbucker and sundry gizmos, plus walkman like gadgets set to AM band and picking up digital noise, static, signals from remote controls held close, cassette recorder and electric razor motor noises, hum, random bits, etc. etc.

—tracks via varispeed/echo playback of some of the induction tracks in GliderVerb running on padlike gizmo

—mixed down to stereo with variations in volume and panning
