Composition No. 50 for tinnitus and disconnected microphone cable shielding

[@ReubenWalton]

What is cable shielding?

[@Kiristovai]

@@ReubenWalton A part of the cable's structure to protect it from incoming signals (like when you're on the phone, or from an old crt TV). If you've ever been on an old landline phone, and you heard weird pops or hisses that randomly came and went, that is similar to what would happen quite often without a cable having shielding. It can be a thing with sound instruments (microphones, speakers etc) that have an excess electrical signal running through them.

[@BarnardoP]

Perhaps, but this to me is inspired by the bringing together (intermodulation) of world cultures (relatable to Debussy or Miles Davis’ On the Corner?).
