Definitiv die einzig wahrhaftige Rockmusik. Klingt halt auch gar nicht so übel, wenn man es mit dem Rock nicht all zu genau nehmen mag. Bei dem Tonabnehmer auf einer Schallplatte dürfte so einigen Audiophilen das Herz zum Stein werden.
The surreal sound of rock music from an actual rock
Weil es irgendwer ja machen muss, sammelt Obsolete Sounds ausgestorbene und verschwindende Klänge und will so die weltweit größte Sammlung dafür werden, die jene Sounds ins heute zu bringen versucht. Herrlich nostalgisches Klickmaterial.
Obsolete Sounds is the biggest ever collection of the obsolete and disappearing sounds of the world, covering everything from dusty VHS cassettes, vintage video games and old mobile phones to melting glacier ice and endangered traditional songcraft.
The interactive online exhibition features more than 150 obsolete and endangered sounds and can be explored in full at Obsolete Sounds.
The project documents not just the much-missed sounds that evoke memories from the past, but also highlights some that we’re in danger of losing. It aims to draw attention to the world’s disappearing soundscapes, and what we can do to preserve and save socially and culturally important sounds for future generations.
Laut ESA ziemlich genau so. “The result is pretty scary.” Das will ja quasi gesamplet werden.
Launched in 2013, ESA’s trio of Swarm satellites are being used to understand exactly how our magnetic field is generated by measuring precisely the magnetic signals that stem not only from Earth’s core, but also from the mantle, crust and oceans, as well as from the ionosphere and magnetosphere. Swarm is also leading to new insights into weather in space.
Musician and project supporter Klaus Nielsen, from the Technical University of Denmark, explains, “The team used data from ESA’s Swarm satellites, as well as other sources, and used these magnetic signals to manipulate and control a sonic representation of the core field. The project has certainly been a rewarding exercise in bringing art and science together.”
It might sound like the stuff of nightmares, but, remarkably, this audio clip represents the magnetic field generated by Earth’s core and a solar storm.
Der Perseverance Rover der NASA ist seit ein paar Monaten auf dem Mars unterwegs und schickt regelmäßig Fotos von dort oben. Der Rover hat auch zwei Mikrofone dabei und zeichnet mit diesen die Sounds des Mars’ auf. Hier als Playlist, die auch hörbar macht, wie Erdengeräusche dort klingen könnten.
NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover carries two microphones which are directly recording sounds on the Red Planet, including the Ingenuity helicopter and the rover itself at work. For the very first time, these audio recordings offer a new way to experience the planet.
Earth and Mars have different atmospheres, which affects the way sound is heard. Justin Maki, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Nina Lanza, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, explain some of the notable audio recorded on Mars in this video.
Forscher des Massachusetts Institute of Technology haben die Schwingungen von Spinnennetzen quasi in Musik übersetzt. Das könnte es möglich machen, mit den Tieren zu kommunizieren.
Bei Sounds of the Forest sammeln sie Geräusche aus Wäldern und Waldgebieten auf der ganzen Welt und sammeln sie auf einer Map. Forest recording – und somit Samplematerial.
We are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap bringing together aural tones and textures from the world’s woodlands.
The sounds form an open source library, to be used by anyone to listen to and create from.
