Description
rand()% is an automated net radio station that streams real-time
generative music. The station is controlled by a bot which generates a
random playlist / schedule at the start of each day and then automatically
runs artists' generative music patches and programs.

contributions and collaborations from artists and organisations worldwide.

Description: 85Kr utilises a stream of genuine random numbers, generated
by a process governed by the inherent uncertainty in quantum mechanics.
This is achieved through measuring the beta decay of Krypton-85 nuclei
emitted by a radioactive source. The radiation source is located in Switzerland,
at the bottom of a converted 70,000 litre subterranean water cistern.
The randomly generated numbers are sourced across the internet into Max/Msp
and used to generate a series of simple clicks.

Description: An audio blueprint of the classic chicken / egg dilemma.
A Pure Data patch generates a text file filled with random numbers which
is then converted into raw audio data. The resulting audio is then analysed
and the numbers dumped into the same text file which is then re-converted
again... and again... and again.... Formatissimo deals with the issues
of creation, iteration and endless recycling.
