JG Thirlwell has been invited to contribute a soundtrack to the Acoustic Cameras project. You can see and hear the results at here.
Acoustic Cameras, masterminded by Pierre Beloüin of Optical Sound, invites composers and sound artists to access webcams and surveillance cameras located around the world in real time. JG has scored a camera which is trained on a fluorescent light in Rzeszów, Poland.

Cameras have also been scored by Die Form, Gilles Sonette, COH, Tony Wakeford, Fred Bigot, SFT, eRikm, Etienne Charry, Jarboe and more.
NB:Sometimes JGT’s camera feed cuts out, but if it does, the soundtrack should still be there.
