In 'The Audible Past' Jonathan Sterne notes that 'it is not the breaking 
down of borders between sound and not-sound that should fascinate us but 
rather the continuous constitution and transformation of the two.' For 
more exposure to current investigations in the field of 
sound/technology, turn your ears towards Huddersfield, England where 
Ultrasound, the experimental sound and music festival will reverberate 
for 3 days starting today, November 27. The focus of this year?s 
festival is on Icelandic sound works and features a program curated by 
Thor Magnusson of the ixi-software project who will also lead a workshop 
on interfacing sound and robotics. Don?t miss other favorites such as 
Johann Johannson, Nullpointer and 'Messa di Voce' (a collaborative 
performance by Golan Levin and Zach Lieberman investigating 
communication, abstraction and synaesthetics by melding speech 
recognition technology with real-time interactive visualization 
software). rand()% ?- a generative ra! dio station broadcasting across 
the Internet -- can bring many of these performances to your desktop if 
you can't attend in person. Soundz ultra! ? Valerie Lamontagne
