Our Futurism class is broken into three sections: materiality, context and time. For materiality I made a spinning cat, context was the vibrating gloves and time I ended up making a kind of memory orrery. My first thought, though, was to make a radio sound lapse file/time line thing. I started by collecting recordings of radio waves from space, the recording from that Frenchman's phonautograph, the fascinating spit and spin of Edison's phonograph recordings and recordings of radio shows from the early part of last century.
Then I spent a ridiculous amount of time splicing together Billboard's top song of the year from 1958 to 2008. I only used this obliquely in the final project (i.e., not really at all) so I'm posting it here in all its copyright offending glory. It's not an amazing mix, the quality of the recordings is pretty crappy and I'm no dj but somehow I think it's funny. Also, billboard has abominable taste in music.
