It's kinda high end broadband stuff, "hissy" is the best description

Cool

Both...I do play with the 'using error/noise/click' thing that's all the hype
these
days.  But I also have been playing with adding constant noise to a track.

Kind of like simulating that analog noise that many people find very
warm and fuzzy with vinyl records.

I've been wanting to buy this CD and try out some
noise adding experiements:

Ambient noise is all around us in our environment.
The type and levels vary greatly from a roaring
river to a roaring factory to a light whispy wind
to the high pitch squeal of halogen lights.

As most people that have experience a anechoic
chamber will report that they felt very unnatural
and dis-oriented.  Because of the lack of noise
and reverberant signal.

A friend mentioned a while ago how he was
observing that a great deal of the
european microsound musicians use
of reverb and delays to create a great
deal of space that you can actually "feel"
inbetween the notes of their music.

hmmmm.....bringing natural occuring
acoustics into the world of often sterile
studio and computer generated "clean"
sounds.
