About
Welcome to Canned Audio. Thank you for taking a moment out of your busy day to experience this space in a new way. These audio installations play on an indefinite mono loop in the restrooms on LL3, LL1, and Balcony Level 3 in The Lindemann Performing Arts Center at the discretion of BAI staff. This activation aims to transform a utility space into something new/unexpected. We hope you enjoy it.
Current Composition
Field Recording 19
Constructed by DJ Potter
This sonic-landscape-think-piece is constructed in the style of a Dadaist readymade. These "off the cuff" audio recordings made by the artist in fits of Romantic sublime inspiration have come together in an amalgam of auditory cohesion for the listeners individualized experience.

“I made a bunch of voice memo recordings of things that interested me on walks or at work. There's nothing like answering the call of nature while you're in the woods. Enjoy.” -DJ Potter

Locus Stream
The Locus Sonus Stream Project offers a worldwide network of "open mics" that permanently stream local soundscapes to a dedicated server. The resulting live audio is used in a large variety of artistic projects. The microphones are installed and maintained by volunteer participants. The nearest source to Brown University is currently in Leverett, Massachusetts, and is operated by Mike Bullock and Linda Gale Aubry at Ears In Space.
