SIGNALVOID 1: Burn It To Disc Then Burn The Disc

SIGNALVOID 1: Burn It To Disc Then Burn The Disc

SIGNALVOID is a noise compilation. Participants were asked to create up to three tracks, each of exactly one minute in length, with no gaps of silence at the beginning or end. Download the compilation here: http://archive.org/details/SignalvoidMp3

This piece was my first submission for SIGNALVOID. I decided to take the noise concept to heart and build a pure noise track by layering from the ground up. The defining factor in the track are the two lines controlling the amount and strength of the comb filter.
