Hilarious and bizarre excerpt from the DTV stream. This mashup of "BeatBot" and "The Janitor Story" made me choke up my coffee hope you enjoy it too read on for wtf.

The beats are "BeatBot" mutilations of Master Monkey livebeats.

_ Welcome to DTV _
A constantly evolving live stream of audio/visual textures generated by an autonomous system designed for this purpose, by lo-fi avant-garde performance artist "Master Monkey" - that's me, hi! 

New "BeatBot" adds self-composed beats every 3-4 minutes.

Read below about how it works.

__ How It Works __
Here in California's lovely Bay Area, a Raspberry Pi single-board Linux computer runs a program I call SonicMonkeyPi. 

Beginning from a list of keywords - and your requests - it chooses sounds from the latest uploads at http://freesound.org. It picks more sounds by following a "trail" of the best ones it finds. 

It mutilates, mixes and re-mixes these into a gradually-morphing audio landscape of noise and sound. The results are streamed directly to you, live and in real-time.

Here's a picture of the actual "broadcast station" -

A separate, custom "DroneBot" monitors the chat via YouTube's Data API for new requests, and will soon provide more, like play history and such.

__ Coming soon __
