Introducing White Noise Lounge
After three weeks in not-so-stealth-mode, it’s time to take the wraps off a new joint venture between me and Stephanie, which we’re calling White Noise Lounge.
It all started about a month ago when we were joking with each other about the idea of an internet radio station that broadcast nothing but white noise—24 hours a day. At some point this joke crossed over into the realm of possibility, and we started working on it like a real project, albeit in the form of an audio blog.
The format is pretty simple. Every post is built around a short audio track that we’ve recorded from our environment. The sound could be anything, we’ve got a long list of ideas, but usually something continuous, rhythmic, and ambient. Every post contains a black and white photo of the sound’s source, in keeping with the site’s monochromatic color scheme (a nod to the “snow” of video static). As this is a blog at heart, we’ll also write something about the place or the sound.
Our goal is to post something new at least once a week, so please feel free to add the feed to your feedreader or audio podcast fetcher. We’ve submitted the site to iTunes, but haven’t heard back yet.
Update: you can now subscribe to White Noise Lounge in iTunes, if that’s your fancy.
this is the coolest thing I’ve seen on the internet in a long time…totally mesmerized by all the sounds. thanks for making it real!
