* effect: acoustic space circuit.
The device is a reconstruction of one of the most important aesthetic tools used in streaming media in the late nineties (organized by xstream network, riga). A recursive transcoding loop of lossy live stream encoders results in a self-resonant spatial echo effect, similar to Alvin Lucier's "i am sitting in a room". The original "dry" signal is mixed with the "wet" delay of packet switching and lossy transcoding. A local Docker setup allows the emulation of geographical distances as well as different sound signatures of psychoacoustic audio compression algorithms.
