Info




SIGHUP is a sound art project started in 2000 by Toronto-based musician and composer Steven Hamann.

The project began as an exploration of the musical application of the sounds and techniques made possible with digital media and computers. The name SIGHUP itself is a term derived from Unix, an acronym for signal hang up, used to describe the command for resetting a failed system process. The scope of the project has since expanded to include the musical implications of all technologies.
