Music To Swim To by timmb published on 2016-01-21T14:37:59Z This is a recording of a performance at the Olympic Swimming Pool in London on 25 November 2015 as a part of Bigga Fish Festival. ‘Music to Swim to’ is a 25 minute meditation inspired by the meditative mechanics of the swimming body as it propels itself through coordinated cycles of releasing energy into the water. Rhythms and harmonies are extracted from four machines that release energy into a space in contrasting ways: the powerful blanket radiation of a microwave, the heat released by each of a computer's microscopic transistors working together; the wild spray of a garden sprinkler and the tightly controlled chaos of an inkjet printer. The sounds heard are generated live by algorithms I have coded in the SuperCollider programming language, which I control during the performance. Genre SuperCollider
