Whoa whoa whoa, let me get this straight — Paul McGee is leaving the Whistler to work with the dudes from Lettuce Entertain You? I suppose he’ll probably be making bank, but still… Here’s hoping the Whistler retains its level of awesomeness without him.

Friends, I got an idea for a project.
Send me your address and I’ll send you something in return. If you’ve got a portable cassette player that you don’t care about, send me that too. I’m repeating the “that you don’t care about” just in case you didn’t catch it.

It’s a generative piece that takes information from the CTA train tracker and makes sounds based on it: the line determines the timbre, the distance from the loop determines the pitch, and eventually the station’s latitude and longitude will correspond with the sound’s position in...
