Track notes:

The original 30 second recording is an intentionally lo-fi recording of ambient room noise and computer noise (including fan whine, which is the source of some of the actual wobbly tone/melody in the final track). It was recorded with a lo-fi stock sound recorder app on a $20 android phone held up to the computer vent (while the computer was running something graphically intensive). The app actually recorded in AMR format (a low bitrate compression format more ideal for speech). This (and the quality of the phone/mic itself) added a bit more of a noise floor and distortion to the recording. The final song was constructed entirely from the 30 second sample using a program for sample sequencing/layering as well as built-in audio effects and vst effects (including guitar and vocal effects). It ended up being a bit of a conceptual track (beyond the concept of the compilation itself), with the "signal to noise to signal" title sort of being a reflection of the original audio's decay in the noise floor and recording quality of the track, with a separate signal (the song) rising out of (and fighting through) the noise. Sort of a metaphor for ideas and things in nature decaying or being buried by noise and then being repurposed or giving rise to new ideas or new things in nature.
