Building Parsings - Representative Sequence


book pages 6-7
all sound pieces are translations of diagrams of urban blocks in brooklyn. the pitch of a tone is given by a building's height, while the length of a tone is given by the width of a building's facade. the base tone corresponds to a sidewalk end (a single base tone indicates turning a corner, a double base tone indicates crossing the street, a quadruple base tone indicates crossing a street with a median). in the sequence above each side street is represented by a different channel: your right speaker plays the upper sequence while your left speaker plays the lower sequence. all other sound translations look at only one side of the street and the sound will be identical in both speakers.
