Krug played and sang as if he would never have the chance to visit these songs again. He spent part of the show at the keyboard, precariously perched on a stool with one foot under him and another balanced on the monitor. Other times, he played the guitar. By the show’s midpoint he was drenched with sweat, hair hanging over his face.
Marc Weidenbaum: Join a Cellular Chorus (Disquiet)
Featuring Patricia Wolf’s new project that turns any device with a web browser and speakers into a piece of a larger sound art.
Every time you invoke the Cellular Chorus page, a random audio file will be set as the browser’s default. (There are currently 64 different audio files in all.) Then let them play, all of them at once. Move the devices around the room. Don’t let any single device take prominence. Adjust the volume accordingly. Use the pulldown menu or the forward/back buttons to alternate between tracks. Note how the same file will sound different on your rattly old tablet than it does on your brand new laptop, how your humble kitchen speaker can’t hold a candle to your bleeding-edge smartphone.
