EMC:EMI by Daniel Maszkowicz
Super Collider and electromagnetic sensors
Electromagnetic compatibility is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference. – Wikipedia
EMC:EMI – Electromagnetic compatibility and interferences – is a term coming from industrial technologies related to machine interactions. The music aims to illustrate how electrical machines interfere with each other as an allegory to human interactions. Fields, waves and resonanting energies come together in harmonies and dissonances as it would normally do in nature. Using electrical signals, electromagnetic field sensors and live short wave radio, the sound sources are then processed through digital feedbacks and granular synthesis, using sound mixer and SuperCollider for stereo or multichannel set-up.
Scientist-artist Daniel Maszkowicz is a power electronics research engineer, independent film curator, multidisciplinary performance artist, composer and producer. As a sound artist he develops and implements devices for manipulating electrical signals and electromagnetic fields with a variety of unusual analogue feedback and sensors. In particular, he uses now obsolete laboratory instruments, synthesizers and other effects machines. He works on sound algorithms for various broadcasting methods and installations and experiments with data sonification using Python and SuperCollider in an approach that leaves room for expression for both the scientist and the artist.
