Desktop Hardware Orchestra
Roger Wigger, Mascha Leummens (CH)
The distinctive sounds made by the hardware components of a conventional desktop computer (hard disk drive, floppy disk drive, CPU, fan, etc.) comprise the acoustic instrument with which visitors can create their own compositions or listen to those composed by others. The software does not emulate “hardware” (for instance, a guitar); instead, it only regulates the sounds made by the components themselves. The results are musical structures played on devices that were not built for this purpose.
