The subject of my audible still life is a white noise generator circuit. I chose it for its characteristics both visual and aural – I felt it could function well in terms of a traditional visual still life and would as well be an interesting subject to address through the idea of the aural still life. I proceeded to make a drawing of its visual appearance as well as a recording of the white noise it produces. I felt the fact that a recording of white noise gave me a palette of an equal amount of every frequency of sound to be an interesting framework from which to build a composition. I processed the white noise through layers and layers of multiple band pass filter sweeps. The density of the filtering increases regularly throughout the composition, transforming the regular and continuous white noise into a collection of individual and specific sounds.
