"The name 'Stereo Bugscope' refers to a performance system that detects oscillating sounds
emitted by the circuitry of electronic devices. It also signifies the act of listening to the
electromagnetic world that emerges from the inside of devices such as computers, cell
phones, MD players, and wireless routers through the use of two inductive microphones
(pickups). The oscillating-circuit sounds come from the IC board and clock, and the
electromagnetic noise comes from the electrical current that turns the fan and drives the
motor. These signals are ordinarily so faint as to be inaudible. The sound is then
electronically amplified, which makes it at first seem very extreme, but at the same time
amazingly beautiful."  (IMFJ)
