The Cable Factory building is alive

Posted in Arts, Life by setok on June 4, 2008

Our radiator started playing music. Yes, you read correctly. It suddenly started playing out this really HC industrial beat. I’m not talking about some weird bubbly noise, but a heavy four-on-the-floor beat, like machinery of some kind. Not only that, but the track is developing all the time. There are fills, faster portions, and changes of pattern. It’s one of the spookiest things I’ve ever heard and we can’t figure out how on earth a radiator can make this kind of sound.Perhaps it’s a joke by one of our neighbours? Maybe some artists downstairs doing something? Or then our radiator has got an industrial DJ stuck inside. Truly weird.

We are trying to set up a Skype stream, so ring toivotuo. We’re working out how to do this. Believe me, it sounds fantastic (alternatively visit our office at the Cable Factory to hear it live, and maybe participate).

Update: Our radiator is now silent, after a good midnight performance. We will be putting soundclips up a bit later. 

Update 2: I put up a soundclip of our radiator. It doesn’t demonstrate many of the cool bits with the fills and patterns, but you can get some idea. Available here.
