note = "An ongoing found sound project that explores an evolving theme of society and recorded music. 'MMM' collects and listens to pieces of audio tape found in the environment (pieces of audio tape that have escaped from broken cassettes and wrap themselves around trees, street furniture etc). These fragments of music/sound are then mixed with other recordings to make an art work eg radio programme, sound installation and book/CD publication. Each output develops different research foci using newly collected audio material. Areas explored over the last five years of MMM include, population migration, culture clash, music sharing culture, forensic audio practices, recycling, redundant technology and analogue audio performance. The website is at the heart of the project, providing an MP3 download of raw found sound as well as information on the current and past foci of the project.
