Lapping At Your Shore is a computer program which organises the composition of recorded sounds in realtime.

“I have found it beneficial to utilise the computers ability to make arbitrary decisions without being mediated by a subconscious. Of course I set the conditions, so there is a poetry there, in the algorithm itself. It's an interplay between chance and being.” – Andrew Ford

Andrew Ford is an artist and sound designer based in London. Currently, his practice focuses on the interpretation of systems and sequences of events; considering how the balance between pattern and chaos in nature build sustaining systems and how this can be applied to the design of sound.
