Rather than filtering sound out, the Mix House allows occupants to shape the sounds around them, creating their own domestic soundscapes by amplifying and mixing everything from ambient environmental noise to radio and television transmissions.

Processing: Random circles greyscale
I have uploaded Random circles greyscale, another sketch I created using Processing. Above are a few examples (click to enlarge). It runs as a Java applet here, but you can download the source code to save image sequences or rework. Here’s a short movie of the results (308 KB .mov).

New Release: Jfl_Grrl (Chill Kids Rework)
Back in 1997, I played around with reworking the song Joyful Girl by Ani DiFranco. I thought her sedate vocals combined with the simple acoustic guitar for a nice listen—and sample-worthy material. I also liked the ironic, trip-hop-ish version featured in this video (YouTube). I never got very far with that remix, but I’ve kept a few loops in my sample library ever since.
While testing some Audio Unit plug-ins I made with SonicBirth (it’s free and open source now, BTW), I dug out those loops from ten years ago. The result is a relaxed, ambient travelogue (slightly reminiscent of Aphex Twin’s extended remix of Journey by The Gentle People, a favorite from my ‘chill out room raver’ days).
I have uploaded Jfl_Grrl (Chill Kids Rework) (18:12 minutes, 34.5 MB MP3) for your consideration.
