Soma Ether

The unheard sound of support wires of mobile communication tower. Sources for the mix: diy contact microphones and Electrosluch 3. 

Electro tower

This was little challenge, to produce a track using only sounds that i recorded with LOM Electrosluch Mini City - device that pickups electromagnetic fields and interference. I recorded source material from computer monitor, laptop, microwave oven, vacuum cleaner robot ans other electronic devices. That was fun)

Using the Electrosluch Mini City from LOM (link below) I went around the house just recording things. Other than playing with the stereo effect of the device there has been no edits or additional processing to the recording. Some of the items recorded ( not necessarily in this order):

Humidifier
Laptop
Cell Phone
Digital Recorder
VHS Player
Flatscreen TV (LCD)
Window Fan
Cordless Telephone
Carbon Monoxide Detector

Took the Soma Ether out for a night! There seems to be no end to what sounds can be caught with this wonderful EMF receiving 'anti-radio' from Soma Labs / Vlad Kreimer. Just received the Ether from Russia via USPS this morning. Here's raw audio of an hour in downtown Austin.

Only had it for a day but finding it's very variable. In quieter environments, Ether can find produce/receive very calming ambient tones and purr along with some very polite static and reception. You can play it like a theremin, too, attenuating and gesturing on a signal frequency, and loop on something (or a device) til it fades out of reach. But this is a demo of how loud and nicely argumentative it can be as a noise source outside among a lot of activity. It feels like a nice audio photograph of the evening and street.
