Electromagnetic Recordings

Here are some brief recordings that have been created by passing an induction transducer that has been wired to an audio jack over several electronic devices. I am simply amazed by the complexity and variety of the magnetic signal emanating from the laptop, for example. It is a pleasure and a surprise to go hunting for these sounds. Of specific interest to me are areas and relative gestures that create an effect similar to a filter sweep as well as the idea of having a complex device like a laptop and finding areas that allow one to naturally crossfade between magnetic signals simply by moving the inductor in one plane or another.
