Just released "field" on net-label Absence of Wax; it's just under 9 minutes and is very recent material, an area I'm interested in continuing to explore. The piece uses stock MIDI piano sounds in an effort to make that which is artificial sound real. "field" is available to stream online, as well as to download for free. Many thanks to Devin Sarno for the interest!

The signal has been observed since around 1982. On rare occasions, it is interrupted
and a voice transmission takes place. Despite much speculation, the actual purpose
of this signal remains unknown. On September 1, 2010, the signal was interrupted
by a 38-second fragment of "Dance of the Little Swans" from Tchaikovsky's ballet
Swan Lake. A Morse code signal accompanied the fragment.
Performers: BUMPR [Peter Bussigel, Stephan Moore, Caroline Park, Tim Rovinelli]
