Although the term 'generative' is usually related to music whenever sound is involved, the Sound Drifting installation is not intended to be 'music' (although it may contain music). Rather, Sound Drifting is about: networking, communication and collaboration; control-sharing (between artists, users and machines); letting things happen, listening to the world, but not actively trying to decorate the world; duration and evolving processes - the esthetics of sounds on site - on line - on air being surfaces, appearances and/or possible entry points to an underlying temporary system of data-processing, recycling etc.

Sound Drifting: I Silenzi Parlano Tra Loro builds on previous Kunstradio on air - on line - on site projects and the research published in Evolution 2.0 CD ROM anthology of Generative Arts (Liverpool Art School / Merseyside Online, 1998).
The installation will also be linked to the Kunstradio / Western Front ongoing WIENCOUVER project.
