LAPS is an ongoing, internet-based audio loop that highlights the inherent errors and noise introduced by streaming audio across the network. Beginning as a silent audio file, the stream is bounced between a number of different servers, eventually returning to the home server where it is played back on the project homepage and sent out for another loop.

Each pass adds new artifacts to the audio, effectively creating something out of nothing.

The loop has been running since July 1st 2010, and has already produced an interesting and rather meditative low rumble accented by some high pitched bleeps and squeeks. Listen to the live stream here.
