Live access to the stream

A sound is sent out over the network and goes through several locations on the web before coming back to the transmitter.

To emphasise the changes caused by the network, the sounds used here are deliberately very simple - pure silences, sinusoidal sounds or white noise.

Similar to a physical & resonant space, the Internet network is here used as a broadcasting space where sound gets more elaborated. The audio signal is modified by the inner properties of the network and becomes an acoustic signature of this space.
