·        "Early in 2001, Dr Stahlgren & Dr Ferguson were asked by Omag Magnetizing Systems to apply their expertise in 'diagnostic sound recording' to various problems encountered in the Magnetic Ink Numbering System used to mechanically sort virtually all of the paper cheques passing through the World Banking Systems today. Having spent over a month recording every aspect of the Printing, Magnetizing, Reading and Sorting process various recommendations were made and the Doctors found themselves with many hours of quite eerie tape recordings capturing, microscopically, the analog details of a process that, even in this digital age, the world economy still relies on. Not wishing the stunning results to go to waste or unheard by the general public, they have (with some artistic license, editing and processing) created this amazing audio journey. It is almost literally the journey of money from your pocket, all the way to the coffers of one of the world’s largest banks." (20:43) tracks 2-10

 

Obeng Ungu & Jalan Buntu with Group Uang Wayang of Palembang, ‘1951:  Sumatran Ladies Wearing Hats as Outlawed by Government’ "Recorded on the shores of Lake Toba, 1981, this is a CD re-issue of an Indonesian album released on Cassette Tape only in 1982. The composers Obeng Ungu & Jalan Buntu chose as the subject and inspiration for the music, quite tragic and horrific events during the first few years of Indonesian independence. The theme of the album seems to be the tremendous struggle of enlightened and 'OPEN' culture, engaging and absorbing outside influences, whilst being viciously oppressed by the conservative and 'closed' culture that holds power and wishes to keep that control at any cost. The actual music is a scarily childish mix of nursery-rhyme gamelan, Indonesian style pop and early 80's electronic processing and sampling. Somehow it treads a triangular path between 23 Skidoo, Val Doonican & Harry Partch."(17:00) tracks 11-22

·       Maria Blondeel Belgium Pulse Field Select ‘HH’2001 The sound is a translation of the light intensities of different locations in the city (Hamburg).  The sound element reacts in real time to the light.  The tones you here were produced by an electronic sound generator that was installed in a car.  Light sensors were attached to the windows and the pitch intensity of the sound changed according to the traffic situation (51:00)
