Quadrocopter spielen das James Bond Theme

Schon uralt und bisher trotzdem an mir vorbeigegangen: eine Band aus Quadrocopter, die das James Bond Theme spielt.

Flying robot quadrotors perform the James Bond Theme by playing various instruments including the keyboard, drums and maracas, a cymbal, and the debut of an adapted guitar built from a couch frame. The quadrotors play this „couch guitar“ by flying over guitar strings stretched across a couch frame; plucking the strings with a stiff wire attached to the base of the quadrotor. A special microphone attached to the frame records the notes made by the „couch guitar“.

These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.

Eine Musik spielende Straße

Auf einem Stück der Route 66 zwischen Albuquerque and Tijeras, New Mexico, haben Ingenieure Rumpelstreifen in die Straße gebaut, die wenn man mit 45 m/ph drüber fährt, „America the Beautiful“ erklingen lassen. Das soll dafür sorgen, dass die Leute nicht wie blöde rasen. Schöne Idee.

Rosenstacheln spielen von einer Schallplatte „Every Rose Has Its Thorn“

Und wer, wenn nicht die Rose selber, könnte das am besten wissen?

Soundeffekte in den 1930ern

Insider’s view of the 1930s radio studio showing the production of dramatic sound effects.

A boy lies on his bed (wearing a white shirt and a necktie), listening to a radio western. We see the images the radio creates in his mind, then we cut to the studio, where we see that this whole fantasy world is created at a frantic pace by announcers in three-piece suits and sound-effects technicians operating incredibly complicated jury-rigged devices. We get to see such things as one guy doing both voices in a conversation, an adult do a very convincing impersonation of a child’s voice, guys playing cowboys impersonating the sound of conversing while riding by playing „horsie“ while reading their lines, and all the weird stuff used to make sound effects. Since this is a Jam Handy picture, the good guys catch the bad guys in the end because the good guys are in a Chevrolet and the bad guys are only on horses.

Wie welche Musik riecht

Wissenschaftler haben untersucht, welche Musik-Genres beim Hören welche Geruchsassoziation in den Köpfen der Hörer auslöst. Zusammenfassend kann man schreiben: Heavy Metal riecht nach Fisch. Das finde ich besonders schlüssig. Dachte ich mir schon immer.

Auch, dass Jazz wie Kaffee riecht, Reggae nach Früchten, Piano nach Rosen und Classic Rock nach Lakritz, ergibt für mich Sinn: The Smell of Jazz: Crossmodal Correspondences Between Music, Odor, and Emotion. Ich riech mich jetzt mal in einen Future Garage Mix rein.

Wenn das Meer Orgel spielt: Sea Organ

Eine wunderschöne Idee des Architekten Nikola Bašić, der an der kroatischen Adria eine Meeresorgel gebaut hat, die durch Wellenbewegungen des Wassers Töne und in der Summe Melodien spielt. Können wir das vielleicht überall haben?

„Constructed in 2005, the acoustic jetty spans some 230 feet (70 meters) and incorporates 35 polyethylene tubes of varying diameter. As waves flood each tube underwater, displaced air is forced through large whistles tuned to play seven chords of five tones. Day in and day out, music seems to emanate from the ground, a playful interplay between nature and design. Listening to the video above, the sound is somewhat like random chords played by a huge calliope.“
