Les disques durs parfois s’effacent, des données disparaissent, des jours souvent des mois de travail. Un fragment de mémoire délégué à la machine est anéanti. Et cette disparition révèle une étrange intimité avec la machine. Nous croyons que la technique viendra résorber un jour prochain ces défaillances. Dans l’oubli involontaire de cette surface d’inscription nous ressentons notre finitude.
Bande sonore générée à partir de sons d’un disque dur défectueux. Un capteur est placé sur le disque dur. Il enregistre le son comme les vibrations, le premier sera modifié en temps réel par les secondes grâce à un petit programme dans Pure Data.

great work! I wonder if you could get some kickass bass from old scsi hds!
hey, pas mal, un son tres mysterieux, ça peux servir au mixage.
Record it, send it to a producer.
If the album sells, you can buy a new drive!
A SATA 1T HD?… A producer?! I dont know any producer…
Sounds from space …
Redkostnoe govno!
great! true techno rock.
I know.. It’s a myspace thing but…it is still contact.
I know a local band that could do something with that. u mind?

Joli travail sur la voix intérieure de la machine.
Machine avez-vous une âme ?
Oui peut-être, à entendre cette longue plainte mélopée.

Do we know what the high-pitched, « wind chime » sounds are, specifically? As a former submarine sonarman, this was a very interesting project. It would be fun to hook up a high-speed camera with a macro lens and see if the harmonics could be captured on film. Crazy talk, I know, but so is all the millions of ’70’s Acid-heads thinking right now that this is their chance to drop a lid and finally receive the secrets of the Universe. Mendocino, CA will never be the same…
I like that very much indeed; a simple idea, but so musically executed. I’ll be playing this one to my students.
I would be really interested to know what you used as the sensor? A piezo transducer, by any chance?
