If your Wi-Fi network could talk, this is probably what it would sound like
The sound of the internet
If your home network could speak, what kind of stories could it tell? Well, before you start imagining loose-lipped modems spouting your search history, allow us to lower your heart rate by explaining that Russian multimedia artist Dmitry Morosov, aka ::vtol::, has created an interactive sound installation that consists of four Wi-Fi routers connected to four LTE modems.
The piece, called Mayak, has been created to analyse the flickering LEDs, as data is received, to trigger a synthesizer.
Interaction is obtained through the fact that all four routers are open Wi-Fi spots and the synthesizers are then triggered by people accessing and using the internet via their own devices.
You can find out more on the ::vtol:: website.

“I’d like to win these lyrics because I think it’s about a guy I know a little bit and I’d love to put that on my wall”: Billy Corgan enters auction of handwritten lyrics of Courtney Love’s song... about him
"If creators are using these technologies... we should let people listen to them": Spotify co-president says AI-generated music is welcome on the streaming platform
I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
