steam http://www.alansondheim.org/steam01.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/steam02.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/steam.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/steam.mp4 the quiet meditation of stationary steam engines -- almost silent, the 25' Corliss was running quickly and barely audible. one of the recordings is short-wave, at roughly the same frequency; you can hear the whistles in the distance. so which machine was generating a signal? the whisper of steam, hydraulic force, heating elements at a distance, a star or log, as the world slides against itself; I think of this as a cascade of intervals.
