Toshiya Tsunoda - Appearance of physical vibration: These recordings are studies of the sonic effects of physical vibration Track 1 - high frequency on a plate glass - 05:46 "Seven piezo ceramic discs are connected with an sine wave generator - and the discs are on a plate glass. Same frequency is output to the piezo discs The frequency shifts slowly and continuously from 9000hz to 20000hz. Due to this, you can listen various sounds made by high-speed cyclic contact between piezo disc and a plate glass, like a ball dribbles. This recording is a private live performance at my room." Track 2 - top of amplitude - 08:25 "I detected the top and bottom of the amplitude from a certain audio signal by a precious gate device. L channel is top (plus level), R channel is bottom (minus level)." Track 3 - on electromagnetic siren - 05:26 "Output an audio signal to the coil of an 100hz electromagnetic siren. The electromagnetic siren vibrates, so you can listen to the amplitude changes according to an audio signal on R c

Chris Watson - The Galapagos Islands - An Audio Diary: Recorded in April 2005 on The Galapagos Islands, 1000km off the west coast of Ecuador... Chris Watson was out in the Galapagos Islands recording for a forthcoming tv film series. In particular Chris made a series of recordings throughout the unique and highly specialised Galapagos habitats; from the mist shrouded Miconia zone at the higher altitudes of Santa Cruz down to the dense cactus and thorn scrub bordering the coast on smaller uninhabited islands. This trip was also the first opportunity for Chris to try out location surround sound recording both on land and then underwater, exploring the sonic potential below the surface of the Pacific Ocean with a four channel hydrophone array.
