This is a live stream of an ongoing software development project focused on the sonification of environmental data in real time.
The “wlan” of wlanMusic reflects that some of the samples and synths playing are triggered by sniffed WiFi packets. Indeed, the rate of WiFi activity may also determine the tempo and note duration of synchronized instruments.
The software is written in SuperCollider and runs on raspberry Pi and Apple hardware.

Listening: During weekday commuting hours– 0600 – 0900 US ET and 1600 – 1800 US ET, a recognizable change of activity can be heard. The cell phone WiFi detected from users of a nearby roadway and a commuter train often disrupt an otherwise steady background pattern of the neighborhood networks. The simplest neighborhood patterns may be heard after 0000 ET.
Updates (i.e. live, human interaction) of this system are usually made weekday afternoons, US ET.
