Ivan Seal: White Noise

May 2011

Ivan Seal's White Noise
Ivan Seal's White Noise

Listen to a work from the musician and artist's 2009 exhibition You Talk Too Much

"Each speaker has a set of words spoken by Ivan Seal. As one word is spoken on one speaker, the other speaker is silent. A computer sends the left speaker a randomly chosen word from a set associated to the word "white" and the right speaker a randomly chosen word from a set associated to the word "noise". The sound is constantly re-ordered and can be played for any given duration."

Ivan Seal is featured in an article by Mark Fisher in The Wire 327
