Pulse Test

This is a study with short snippets of audio examples about audificated processes of our everyday gadgets like our cell phones, cameras, smart phones and laptops.
Auscultations no. 1 to 16 are made by using a electromagnetic coil, no. 17 to 19 are made by audification processes of assembly code on software side (formal materiality) and auscultations no. 20 to 23 are produced with a HF-detector.

This is a edited version of Substrat Radio #6 Sonic Archaeology a loose radio show with a conversation with Martin Howse and Shintaro Miyazaki including sound examples about sonic archaeology.

The pick was [then] used to hammer on the surface, and by this means, 
the Angle Ditch was discovered. The sound produced by hammering on an 
excavated part is much deeper than on an undisturbed surface, a 
circumstance worth knowing when exploring a grass-grown downland, 
though not applicable to cultivated ground.

[Augustus Pitt Rivers. Excavations in Cranborne Chase. Volume IV. 1895]

Sonic archaeology is a revealing, an exposing of the machinic past, 
and a divining of the future; predicting and observing the end of a 
process. This archaeology is necessarily expressed on that which is 
hidden.

With remote special guest Shintaro Miyazaki, of algorhythmics fame, 
Martin Howse explores, through recordings, live action and 
conversation, the otherwise hidden domain of invisible process and 
execution within the machines which surround us. As a finale, the 
simple site of execution will be shifted, from central semiconducting 
processor, to the skin of the hand.

Sonic Archeology is an open collaborative research and knowledge-base project, which investigates into hidden sonic properties of operational processes occurring permanently in our artificial everyday environment pervaded by electromagnetic waves, but also in our hi-tech electronic gadgets, which store, transmit and manipulate/ calculate information.
