Field recordings done on site and music composed and arranged by J R House.

200 km above the Arctic Circle, in the magical light from the midnight sun and the northern lights.
-20 degree intermittent snowstorms and blizzard.

I and a team of Aurora scientists led a group of artists into the unknown.Over the following days I made extensive field recordings and time lapse Photography.

Wind and pylons: interference and resonance
Sounds in the wires

I harbour a profound appreciation for pylons and wires. It seems to me that pylons are a great example of multifaceted noise.
The Sonic noise above my head out of reach fizzing and crackle in the ether as high voltages zip and zap along the cables. It’s a noisy sound. crispy crackly textures, at once constant and moving, static and dynamic. 

The wind and rain at Caradon hill as every visit are intense and unrelenting, fog obscures the towers, sheep and landscape, closing down my visual field and opening up my auditory perception. I attach my contact mics directly to the wire as the wind whistles off the wires and send vibrational drones that I record and listen to over hours attuning to the rhythms, harmonies and dissonance vibrations.

The natural frequencies of the wire are determined by the integer harmonics of the fundamental. In very long wires such as the wires here reach at their pinnacle 780ft which are also very thick the fundamental is well below one Hertz. As I listen to wind, and tension of the wires as the wind contorts them creating higher harmonic frequencies which fall into the auditory range of humans (I am interested how the sheep and birds perceive these sounds). The very high harmonics become so crowded they cease to have discrete frequencies but rather tend to beat together, creating second-order frequencies of lower pitch. the length of the wire a family of interacting segments, each with its own fundamental within the auditory range sing in the wind. There is a vocal-like quality of the wires vibrating in the wind containing the sound of numerous ‘voices’, each competing for harmonic dominance.

The method of fixing the contact mics is an art in itself with  no single best method. Rather, attunment and knowledge of wing and weather patterns in which different conditions require different methods, which are established by rre-visits and experimentation.

WATER

On August 12, 2024 at approximately 2130 while field recording near Rocky Fork State Park in Unicoi County, Tennessee, at  03:00 in this recording, we heard an unidentified mammal from a distance. Is this a human? A bobcat? Something else? 

Please add your thoughts in the comments.

What is THAT at 03:00 in this field recording??

L'esprit, c'est à dire le principe vital par lequel le corps est animé
L'esprit rationnel, le pouvoir par lequel l'être humain ressent, pense, décide
L'âme
Un esprit, c'est à dire une simple essence, dépourvu de toute matière, possédant un pouvoir de connaissance, de désir, de décision, d'action
Un esprit donnant la vie
Une âme humaine qui a quitté le corps
Un esprit plus élevé que l'homme mais inférieur à Dieu, c'est à dire un ange
Utilisé de démons, ou mauvais esprits, qui étaient censés habiter les corps des hommes
La nature spirituelle de Christ, plus élevée que le plus haut des anges, et égale à Dieu, la nature divine de Christ
De Dieu
La puissance De Dieu que l'on peut distinguer dans la pensée qui provient de son essence
Manifestée dans le cours des choses
Par son influence sur les âmes qui produit dans le corps théocratique (l'église) les dons les plus élevés et les plus grandes bénédictions
La troisième personne de la trinité, Dieu le Saint-Esprit
la disposition ou influence qui remplit et gouverne L'âme de chacun
La source efficace et tout pouvoir, affection, émotion, désir, etc

Πνεύμα ( Pneuma )

Plant music is a way of monitoring electrical signals of plants as sound. Through patented sonification technology, PlantWave measures biological changes within plants, graphs them as a wave and translates the wave into pitch.

With PlantWave, every single note you hear is a real-time expression of a shift in a plant. The more active a plant is at any particular moment, the more notes you’ll hear. When a plant is less active, it will often drone or even stop producing notes.
