Three separate sequences showcasing different approaches of generating sound with a radio-based noise machine.

Radio Output → FM Transmitter → 99 MHz → Radio Antenna → Radio Output

The radio receives its own signal through an FM transmitter, creating a feedback loop. A small latency provides space for the sounds to evolve. To create additional momentum, the sound of a bowed metal string connecting the two edges of an iron sheet is fed into the feedback loop.

This is the music from the radio your parents didn't want you to listen to.
