1. The Craigslist Ad Captcha Speak gone wild, some sort of tear in the system caused a forest of voices speaking words like some surrealist robot army.

Here is a new piece I got the idea from a radio station announcer saying “Next: Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Billy Idol!” which I thought would sound great played at the same time, so here it is, mp3 and jpg:

An interactive lecture demonstration and study of Electro-acoustic and Computational feedback synthesis which outlines the techniques, methods and materials required to realize an electro-acoustic feedback system instrument and computer based feedback system loop for the purposes of the synthesis of complex sounds. Diagrams the results and systems through Spectrograms and sound samples generated using the techniques described. Analyzes the sound phenomenon generated through sound samples and Spectrograms as phenomenon with similarities to natural forms, exhibiting fractal self-similarity, and the Topological Mixing of Pitch, Amplitude and Duration; a characteristic behaviour of a chaotic (indeterminate) Iterative Function System. A recurring sound signature is also identified in outer space electromagnetic data Sonification, isolated and re-synthesized. The natural harmonic series is generated through a tuning the feedback loop by system Delay unit regeneration. A non-interferential method of interacting with a chaotic feedback system for the optimal synthesis and observation of the sound phenomenon generated is presented.
This paper represents Sonological Research activities from the inception and development of an Electro-acoustic feedback system instrument, to the migration and integration of real-time computational feedback system methods and techniques for the production of complex sounds. It provides sound samples, spectrographic analysis, methods and materials, results, and discusses unique sound phenomenon generated by an indeterminate (chaotic) feedback system and electro-acoustic-computer feedback system instrument. The study seeks to convey new methods and techniques for the synthesis of sound and provide methods of interacting with a chaotic feedback synthesis system for optimal iterative phenomenon generation and observation.

A Group Futurist Art of Noise Interactive Manifesto Sound for large Industrial Orchestra of these interactive chaotic Feedback System Noise Art Instruments: the STILL HORN Instrument, the FLATBEDONATOR, the SIREN, and the TRUCKOPHONE instrument, played by an Operator Performer (or group) and Participants (Sat. 1 OCT 2011).
Campbell Foster Alot of people were fascinated by the chaotic Feedback instruments . We rocked the Districts with our performances and operation on the instruments of the Noise Art Orchestra! Right to Left; The TRUCKOPHONE feedback system Instrument, Lee Blalock (on TRUCKOPHONE), Matt Griffin (Signal Person, FLATBEDONATOR and SIREN), Campbell Foster on the STILL HORN instrument, and John Puchiele on the TRUCKOPHONE Electro-acoustic-computer Chaotic Feedback System Instrument.

KATA-STROPH @ Futurism Today or NOT!
Time: Saturday, October 1 at 7:00pm – October 2 at 7:00am
Location: The Distillery Historic District, 55 Mill St.Toronto, ON
1 Day to KATA-STROPH ! An interactive Futurist event appropriating the sculptural objects of the Distillery District as Instruments in the Industrial noise-art installation orchestra playable by the Operator / Performers and the participants 1 x 1. We created an electro-industrial orchestra: the STILL HORN, the FLATBEDONATOR, the SIREN, the ELECTRO-ACOUSTIC SHEET METAL FEEDBACK PHONE, and the TRUCKOPHONE. A Futurist Manifesto Sound of industrial noise and objects with modern electronics, the instruments can be played by the participants and/or the operators throughout the Futurism Today or NOT! event. There will also be the premiere of the new composition performed by members of the Nouveau Futurist Art of Noise group in a special late night concerts at 10pm, 1230am and 4am.
The Nouveau Futurist Art of Noise Group is a collaboration between Electricity is Magic (Matt Griffin & Eric Powell) and Campbell Foster (Chief Feedback Officer), with performance assistance by a number of artists from Toronto and beyond. This project would not be possible without the generous support of Futurism Today or NOT!, The Speaker Shop, 5th Element Events, The Distillery Historic District, and Luigi Russolo – Futurist.
“KATA-STROPH” for the the Industrial Futurist Noise Orchestra (IFNO) (35 min) and its instruments and Operators / Performers:
The STILL HORN Feedback System Instrument
[the Electro-acoustic Sheet Metal Feedback instrument integrated]
Operator / Performer – Campbell Foster
Signal and whisle man, SIREN Instrument, and Conducting by: John Puchiele
Operator Performers:

John Puchiele – SignalPerson, Whistle, SIREN instrument, conducting 00:00 midnight show
An unless otherwise notified to accomodate other activities of some of the 26 artist in the Distillery District, there are three shows:
KATA-STROPH – 35 min, shows at 10:30, 00:00 midnight and 4:00 AM
Of course, Participants can play the Instruments of the Industrial Futurist Orchestra when not in a performance of KATA-STROPH.
