about

Both pieces in this set were submissions to New Media Scotland's Artstream Sounds from Near and Far project in April 2002.

AMS Chief Scientist Robert Baldock composed Logarithmic Supercollider especially for the project. It is a sonic exploration of radio broadcasts from around the world treated electronically and mixed with piano and percussion parts played by computer.

This piece was performed and recorded using the AMS Composer software developed by AMS, a short-wave radio and Teisco 607 analogue synthesizer hooked up to a PC via a MIDI-CV converter. The AMS Composer software enables the playing of stochastic series of notes and rhythm lines on electronic instruments at speeds and levels of complexity beyond human capability.

The other track in the set (Oscillatory Counterchallenge) also makes use of electronics and short-wave radio sound sources.
