It was planned some long time ago, but finally Shintaro Miyazaki managed to deliver a acceptable online pdf-version of  »Hidden AlgoRHYTHMS Everywhere – a sonic approach to everyday technologies«. It is distributed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, a copy of which is available here.

The text is a pre-version in progress. A final version of this paper is planned to be published as: »AlgoRHYTHMS Everywhere – a heuristic approach to everyday technologies«, in:Hoogstad, Jan Hein / Stougaard, Birgitte (Ed.): PLURALIZING RHYTHM: MUSIC, ARTS, POLITICS, Amsterdam/New York: Rodopi, 2011 (forthcoming)

We lately made our first contribution to radio called “algoRHYTHMIC noise of our everyday gadgets“, which consists of a study with short snippets of audio examples about audificated processes of our everyday gadgets like our cell phones, cameras, smart phones and laptops.
Auscultations no. 1 to 16 are made by using a electromagnetic coil, no. 17 to 19 are made by audification processes of assembly code on software side (formal materiality) and auscultations no. 20 to 23 are produced with a HF-detector.
