FAUSTEN Black Sunday [ Electronic Explorations 2013 ]

all sounds were created and designed using only the source recording of mashing oatmeal in my hands.

everyday (10-29-13) oatmeal / darkside

all sounds were created and designed using only the source recording of latex gloves.

today also marks my halfway point in my everyday project. my first sound was uploaded on May 1st 2013. Halfway there.

everyday (10-31-13) latex gloves / six months in (halfway through)

all sounds were created and designing using only the source recording of a noisy folding closet door

This weekend we went to Crystal Waters Florida and recorded various sounds of the marine life. We took a boat out to theses specific locations including Kings Point Bay, Shell Island, and Mouth of Rainbow River. Here we captured some bizarre sounds of Dolphins communicating, thousands of shrimp feeding, and the distant moan of the Hypostomus Plecostomus catfish. (Headphones highly recommended). These recordings where captured using the Aquarian Audio H2a-XLR hydrophones, and Sound Devices 702 Digital recorder. Original files recorded at 24-bit-96khz.


Hydrophone Recordings of Dolphins, Shrimp Feeding, and Hypostomus Plecostomus Fish

Sound recordings from "Teufelsberg" (German for Devil's Mountain) Listening station Berlin Germany. Short excerpts from the high tower dome trying to capture the most amazing spatial reverb echos from this most unusual structure.Various impacts, glass breaks, wooden clanks recorded at 24-bit 96kz with a Zoom H4N. Note: that some distant birds and wind can be heard through some of the recordings. This was due to some of the small holes in the ceiling structure, allowing some slight outside bleed.

Field Recordings from Teufelsberg Listening Station Berlin, Germany

Noumen - Abyss

Florida pretty much dodged Hurricane Irene completely, but we still saw some massive waves out on the coasts. This is a recording of some 8 foot breakers hitting the pier on Cocoa Beach (from under the pier). Recorded with a CSS-5 into a 702T @ 24/96

Waves Crashing Under Pier - Irene

Recordings of various electrical devices (printers, scanners, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation, Mac-book hard drives, 5 different wireless modems, fax machines, iPhone, iPad, and computers. 
Recorded with two telephone recording microphones (induction coil) into a Sound Devices 744T recorder 24-bit 96khz.

Note: The file download is now available in the original 24-bit 96khz format.

Water drop

Nippara stalactite caven (Okutama) Soundscape of the big cave existing in the Tokyo mountain area. Deep natural reverberation peculiar to a stalactite cave. The perspective drawing that a drop of water plays is interesting.
This track was contributed to kinoko pohonography Japan.

Birds singing

Close field recording of waves crashing on the shore of Kalundborg Fjord at Røsnæs, Denmark. Water cascading through small stones as it pulls back into the ocean. Very distant vessel. Recorded at 2 meters distance, 120 degree with Zoom H2 build in microphones.

Ocean Waves Crashing

Bat field recordings from a recent trip to the North GA mountains. This sound clip was captured using the Anabat SD2 - Bat Detector - high microphone. This device allows you to monitor the ultrasonic echolocation calls of bats for species identification and activity measurement. The particular species of bat in this recording are the Indiana Bat. The typical hearing range of this bat is between 20hz - 150Khz. They locate their prey by means of echolocation. They will produce a very, loud short sound and assess the echo when it bounces back. The type of insect and how big it is can be determined by the quality of the echo and time it takes for the echo to rebound. They also use two frequency types; constant frequency (CF) and frequency modulated (FM) calls that descend in pitch. Each type reveals different information for the bat. The CF is used to detect an object, and the FM is used to provide information regarding the nature of the object and its distance. The pulses of sound produced by the bat last only a few thousandths of a second with silences between the calls that give time to listen for the information coming back in the form of a echo. I was amazed at how complex some of these  echolocation patterns looked on a sonogram and was even more blown away by how they sounded. This file was outputted from the Anabat software application which takes the bat calls and converts them to wave files. The Anabat software application also converted the calls to a audible human hearing range (20hz-20khz) as most of the bats calls went up into the 150khz range.

A recording of a beehive. The mics, two tiny DPA 4060s, were placed right at the little gap that the bees use as their entrance/exit.

This was part of a session involving two other recordists and myself, we had about 10 microphones all recording the beehive simultaneously from various angles.

Equipment used on this particular sample was a Sound Devices 702 and 2 DPA 4060s taped onto a stick.

Hydrophone Recording of Burning Embers Underwater

In physics, mass–energy equivalence is the concept that the mass of a body is a measure of its energy content.
This concept states that mass is a property of all energy and energy is a property of all mass, and the two properties are connected by a constant: the speed of light. To Einstein, mass–energy equivalence is a consequence of the relativistic symmetries of space and time.
In "Mass & Energy", thus, this concept is explored musically.
The interactions between sound material and the musical structures are a consequence of the 'energy' of the musical gesture. And, as a consequence, the spatial localization of the sounds reflects the intensity of this interactions.
This work was created at CIME - Centro de Investigação em Música Electrónica (Center for Research in Electronic Music), at the University of Aveiro, Portugal.

This work received the Honorable Mention at the Concurso Latinoamericano de Composición Electroacústica Gustavo Becerra Schmidt, promoted by the Comunidad Electroacústica de Chile CECh, in the year 2012.

Mass & Energy (2012)
