A track I produced for a workshop by Angelina Deck for high school kids at TENT Rotterdam.

Originally released in 1992, ‘Tiemo’ is probably the most ‘tuneful’ of Thomas Köner’s legendary triptych (Nunatak, Teimo and Permafrost). With a measured, economic hand (this album again is surprisingly brief given so many other in the genre hitting the hour mark) he has created a record that revels in distance and silence and is not afraid to show the occasional beauty of the underworld.

from the album "Stereo Bugscope 00" (CD 2004)
by  Haco
「ステレオ・バグスコープ 00」
HACO

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. Waveforms similar to the audio frequencies of electromagnetic leakage, which is faintly emitted from machines, are also released by the inductive coil in a pickup. The sound is then electronically amplified to magnify these signals which are ordinarily so faint as to be inaudible. According to one's position in relation to and distance from the source, changes in the sound can be observed. 

ステレオ・バグスコープ｣は、電子機器内部における回路上の動作発振音を検出するシステム。二つの誘導性マイクロフォン（ピックアップ）を用いて機器回路から発生した電磁界を覗く。 コンピュータ、携帯電話、デジタル・プレーヤー、無線ルータなどの基盤上のIC、クロック、ファン、モーター駆動などによる電磁ノイズを拾う。 機器からかすかに磁気漏れした音声周波数の信号と同様の波形が、ピックアップの誘導コイル内にも発生し、それを電気的に増幅している。これらは通常、不可聴な微弱信号である。発生源との位置、距離の関係により音の変化が観察できる。

Astral Dustbin Dirge

Robert Ashley - She Was A Visitor

This is an extract from a much longer (42 min, in two parts) piece  of electroacoustic music that I made using sounds from Jean Tinguely's mechanised sculptures. I recorded these at The Tinguely Museum in Basel.  Many of Tinguely's mechanised sculptures self-destructed, or were not maintained, and The Tinguely Museum is the only place where you can still see a ggod selection of his sculptures still in working order.  The sounds are sometimes manipulated drastically, sometimes minimally.  I also used some shortwave radio sounds as material.  Some of Tinguely's later works struck me as meditations on death and the afterlife, and I hope this comes across in the piece.  The image is a painting by Emma P. O'Bong, titled Fernschreiber III.

Excerpt of a CD released in 2012 on and/OAR.

A journey to the Chinese Qinghai province (Tibetan culture region of Amdo) was commissioned by the Goethe-Institut China. Its purpose was to experience the province and to produce art works to be presented at The Third Guangzhou Triennial, subtitled «Farewell to Post-Colonialism» in the same year. The sound installation Unit and a series of photographs called Cutting Qinghai resulted from this journey, during which I took photographs and made audio recordings. The installation was presented from September 6, 2008 to November 18, 2008.

Unit consists of five pairs of floor-mounted frame drums and hanging loud speakers. The frame drums resonate, depending on the sound pressure level from the speakers, which hover a few centimeters above them. There are four sound elements (stones, crickets, cymbals and drums used in the 5-channel audio composition for this set-up, which were auto-selected and projected onto the frame drums according to an aleatoric script on a multi-channel DVD.)

50 copies of this release come with a (6.75" x 6.75") 40 page book entitled Cutting Qinghai. The regular edition of the CD is limited to 250 copies.
