Jim Reeve-Baker | MP3 Compression Artefacts as Creative Material Event details Speaker: Jim Reeve-Baker (University of Edinburgh) Date: Thursday 7 October 2021 Time: 5.15 - 6.45pm. Venue: Alison House, Lecture Room A (second floor) Registration required Registration is required for this event to ensure we can maintain 1m social distancing. Register via Eventbrite (external link) Please note that masks must be worn unless you are medically exempt. Abstract The project is investigating the production and aesthetic of MP3 data compression artefacts and how they can be used for creative purposes. By cascading colours of noise and transient signals through MP3 encoders set to low bitrates and sample rates, effects and artefacts have been generated and act as the base material for composing with. Additional signal processing is kept to time stretching and arrangement, allowing greater opportunity in time and space to hear the artefacts. The work seeks to explore the sonic possibilities of a process and aesthetic that is essential to and ubiquitous throughout digital communication, and attempts to harness a set of sounds whose creative potential can still yet be examined.
