A KP5 Minor G1-class geomagnetic storm hit on the night of September 17th. I recorded this with a self-made coil antenna. The antenna was built by sound artist Hannah Kemp-Welch during her week long residency at MoKS according to Dan Tapper's VLF sound diaries project https://issuu.com/dantappersoundart/docs/vlf_guide_4_upload/15). Hannah left the antenna with me and I've continued to test it. After testing several digital audio recorders, the one that works best is my old Sony PCM-D50 in terms of rejecting ground hum noise.

Set against a backdrop of the dreamy mountains of Labëria in southern Albania, Washed by the Moon, British/German filmmaker Dan Shutt’s directorial debut, is a rich journey through the region’s musical history.

Ahead of the film's premiere on 13 September at Calvert 22 Foundation, we invited Dan Shutt to compile a mix that best encapsulates the Albanian tradition of polyphonic singing.

Gaet'ale Pond is the saltiest body of water on Earth. It is situated in Ethiopia's Danakil Depression, arguably the hottest and driest place on the planet. Bubbles of odorless but toxic gas  are continuously emitted from the lake surface, but also from holes in the ground next to it. The area is littered with bird and insect corpses.

Recorded with Sony PCM D100.
