Presented at NYC's Metropolitan Museum Of Art, "Bacground Music for Foreground People" came into being as an experiment to let blind people "see" by converting images into sound. Not the first experiment in its kind, "Bacground Music for Foreground People" is a 74 minute long track created feeding digitized images to a computer that generates sounds based on RGB color values and X/Y positioning of the pixels. To that sub-bass information has been added subsequentially. Besides the concept, it is interesting to listen to this track as hints of melodic lines and portions of what seem logical beats are randomly generated and continuously warped. If you like Staalplaat releases this one is definitely for you.
