solipsistic NATION No. 41: Signal to Noise

Today’s show I’ll be playing for you noise that can reduce a cinderblock to a pile of of rubble and noise so gentle and pretty it could put you to sleep.

I sometimes feel that listening to noise is like looking up at clouds or watching static on the tv. You zone out and start seeing patterns and objects.

It begs the question: what is music? And at what point does sound go from being noise to music?

This week solipsistic NATION continues to promote art and design culture with another t-shirt give away contest, courtesy of The Imaginary Foundation. Email me at solipsisticnation@gmail.com and you could be a lucky winner of one Team Nacu t-shirt of your choice.
