<description>The video above shows the system described in the previous post in action.Through the realisation of this piece I am able to see this owrking as a larger installation work.In relation to the build-up of noise and interference in this piece, Kriesche (1994) in In the Noise of the Signals, writes:'the electric man no longer listens to the radio - he himself is the radio: set at the same time o...</description>

<description><img width="250" src="http://www.lozcliffe.com/images/small_fm_broadcast_loop_test.jpg" /><br /><br />The image above shows a design for a small auto-destructive feedback loop using FM broadcasting.This uses the max patch described and documented here.My decision to use FM broadcasting as a means to auto-destruct or degrade the content of my loop was orginally based on my failed experiments using digital compression and re-compression (this process took days of processing and thousands of comp...</description>

<title>Acoustic analysis of the destructive process</title>

<guid>http://www.lozcliffe.com/article.php?id=80&amp;Acoustic+analysis+of+the+destructive+process</guid>
<description>It appears that dominant frequences within the broadcast material (in this case around 360Hz) are being gradually amplified by each consecutive loop of the process until they make the rest of the content unaudable. This is identified as 'phase -matching', where the amplitudes of in phase sound waves add together when they are mixed, in addition 'phase-cancelation' may be occurring at oth...</description>

<description><img width="250" src="http://www.lozcliffe.com/images/Screen-Shot-2012-04-04-at-16.46.13.jpg" /><br /><br />Within the context of cybernetics, Ashby (1956) describes 'feedback' as 'a circularity of action [which] exists between the parts of a dynamic system'.Wiener (1961) defines cybernetics as: "the science of control and communication, in the animal and the machine".Here a distinction is made between one part of the system controling or dominating the other, and each part having an equal role to p...</description>

A reconnection of sound to physics, architecture, animal behavior. Here, he claims that Lucier linked sound with animal survival, sound as a human instinct.
