Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

Raga Explorer is a strange little program that lets you generate your own ragas by picking a type of rhythm, time of day, and clicking around on a spinning mandala/spirograph thing (see pic above). Not sure how the control scheme is supposed to work, and it all sounds a little MIDI-y, but this kind of tool might be a great way to introduce non-standard music to people by allowing them to explore its parameters.
