One easy way to accomplish this might be taking a sound which lasts 100,000 years and time-scaling it 1/10.000th of its original length. Another solution lies in finding some creature or process which is likely to last another ten years and simply following them around with a microphone and converting the audible results to a low bit- rate mp3 (-sure this has been attempted before , drastically enough?). Another aspect of the idea i find most cool is the comparison to an eternal flame ; brings to mind the auto de f? , and not only that: i was reading a mystery story by an obscure french author concerning a recalcitrant jew who refused to yield to an inquisitor in spain , yet that has nothing to do with the subject , does it? ( if you're really interested in the story , contact me and i'll find it for you; don't wish to describe texts for those who aren't interested.) Elaborating on the idea of time condensation however , opposed to time condescending ; what sound could you actually tolerate listening to for ten years? I'm thinking of the evolution of human beings taking 100, 000 years ( in the broadest sense) and the condensation corresponding to one's musical output over the last ten years, to be 'sunk living into the horror of one's existence' to rather crudely quote some symbolist poet; Tristan Corbiere perhaps? What i was producing ten years ago sounds pretty damn good to my unclogged (uncle -logged?) ears , and i could certainly tolerate listening to that one member of lappetites , Eliane Radigue perhaps? -for that time span http://www.lappetites.com/ Maybe it's just that i think of her works expressing long durations , slow evolutions , stasis and renewals. ____ In trying to wrap my mind around such a concept , thought of the sound of human evolution , or at least a model based on my understanding of human evolution. -considered using some sort of species which evolves and eventually dies away over the course of 100,000 years , perhaps a strain of fly. That didn't interest me too much , and I wasn't any closer to finding sound. -thought of the big bang(from a human understanding) since most probably know what it is. -looked for a bang and decided upon a smash from a snare drum , https://rcpt.yousendit.com/712761122/53603c12e80a3b59dbf8462660195544 this was converted to midi (midi-like?) data with the aubio note tracker and played with quicktime piano. The result was slowed down as much as possible then exported . The new .mid file was imported then slowed down once more. The result is a rather liberal interpretation of an expansion. https://download.yousendit.com/dVlwUXVnYTI5bEFLSkE9PQ My main concerns are: I don't know if I'm making a midi file or a sound-file and, I'm a bit concerned over the large spaces or silences , effective as they are. Perhaps people's reactions , humanity in general could serve to fill in the gaps , prolong the sound. (perhaps humanity in specific) -next step then is taking the lengthy sound-file , a realization of the expanded midi data , and playing that to the original snare drum; recording the result. For reasons of practicality I confined this stage to half an hour. The result of this endeavor is then pro-genitive of new midi data, in turn converted to sound. The silences aren't disturbing me as much There are enough of them to give a break now and then , it doesn't sound like something mechanised which goes on and on and on ( a common criticism of modern composition in books). I'm hearing some voices in the background. What is next? The same midi file is stretched as far as I am able and work on dynamics and arpeggiation. This is sounding ok. now , rather bridging the ultra-modern and the early classical for me... Oh, dear. I'm lying already. I could have extended this to a much longer duration. What I have now is the main notes of the beginning much farther apart and the duration of the piece corresponds to the realtime length of the file. https://rcpt.yousendit.com/712786344/a62925dc402c05ec0c6fea349158ed5e Not to worry - the program is rejoined awhile later and subjected to slight spectral modifications, frequency inversion and even frequency selective time shifts.

The Sound department at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago offers an MFA degree. Lou Mallozzi isn't in charge of the program, but his effort in creating a genuine sonic arts curriculum has made a last impact. Nicolas Collins and Shawn Decker have been trading off on the heading the department. I teach there, too. All of us faculty have a shared role in shaping the curriculum. The number of courses, faculty, and students has consistently expanded since the 1990s. (The department began in the early 70s.) If I recall correctly, our MFA program in sound began in 2004. Very soon we'll have an up-to-date, functioning website for the department that will surpass this (low-functioning) page: http://www.saic.edu/degrees_resources/departments/sound/index.html Hey Justin, was that weekly radio program you listened to in Chicago called "something else"? If so, that was, and still is hosted by Philip von Zweck, on Sunday nights on WLUW 88.7 FM , since 1995.

On this subject if anyone knows of a temporal tracking EQ (selecting a peak frequency and tracking any shifts to null it over a set time period) that would be very handy.

I am finding the immaculate quality of the sounds entering my ears recently to be unnerving - I am sure that 'someone' is up to 'something'. I have attempted to put insects directly into my ears but they just died. It would be great to hear just the insect without any distractions such as human speech. I have tried many polishing tools but nothing seems to do the trick. Any help that anyone can offer to help me to solve my problem would be greatly appreciated. I thank you copiously in advance, Andrew From domtetmyer at gmail.com Fri Jul 17 00:01:34 2009 From: domtetmyer at gmail.com (Dominic Tetmyer) Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:01:34 -0700 Subject: [microsound] software to 'clean' sound In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <94a81feb0907162101oaef462cs748f8aae1d942ad1@mail.gmail.com> Although not free, I have had MUCH luck with Izotope RX. http://www.izotope.com/products/audio/rx/ -- Cheers, Dominic Tetmyer http://dominictetmyer.com http://soundcloud.com/verb-1 On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Thiago Rocha wrote: > Depending on the sound material, you can either use High Pass or Low Pass > Filters, you can also use a Noise Gate if there's some considerable distance > between noise and sound, or you can use an Expander before using the Gate to > create that distance.

There is the sound program that's part of the Media Lab (at the Univ of Art & Design Helsinki) run by Antti Ikonen as well as CMT, the Center for Music and Technology at the Sibelius Akademie in Helsinki... I've taught at UdK-Berlin, and wasn't aware of the sound studies program (I teach in another MA Institute), but if you could get into that program, Berlin is really happening regarding sonic art things at all levels...

I did buy some hairy material at the local fabric shop to make a custom one like the one I found online for USD 50, but haven't gotten around to it yet... Does anyone have links or advice on filtering parameters for running, say, a low-cut filter that is either general for any wind noises, or specific filter parameters for the H4? Or just a general discussion of wind noise? I've been editing bits out of my samples and saving to a master wind-noiz audio file which I will use some day for something, but I'd like to get more agile with eliminating problems from my files via DSP... cheers & thanks!

C. Barros, video by Georges Bormand, sci-fi short story Who said that in space one doesn't hear any noise? It's true for one who is in the real void, of course, out of the spatial ship. But inside the ship, when it runs at thousands of kilometers per second, the rubbing of tiny atoms of hydrogen against the sides of the ship suffices to produce a permanent whistling which fills the cabin. Every time the ship accelerates, the noise becomes shriller; not counting encounters with more or less dense clouds of various atoms. It is a lancinating music; isn't it, really, what eulogized Huygens as "the music of spheres"? Some astronauts cannot stand it, and they need to mask it with their favorite music records constantly playing throughout the trip; I love it, it is the music of my voyages in space, and when I am not in flight I miss it. Every change in the sound, in the tone or in the loudness, wakes me up when I am sleeping. I recorded a few minutes of particularly pretty sounds (it's my taste, how do you dare to contest it?), and corresponding images from the control screens of the ship. When I play them, some feel sorry for me and ask: ? How can you endure such uproar a whole flight long? ? I feel sorry for them, who are not able to recognize beauty. Poor men. I must tell that the flight during which I recorded these minutes was not an easy going one ; the rocket nearly crashed on a large asteroid ; when I talk of a near miss, I mean that I passed at about 10 kilometers from the asteroid ; but ten kilometers from the rocky core is a zone where the concentration in gaseous molecules is already more than one hundred times that of the ordinary void, and the concert I owed to the hail of shots against the walls of the ship was proportional to this increasing. In all, between the actions needed to avoid collision when I discovered the danger, and the trajectory corrections to compensate for both deviations, the avoiding moves and the consequences of the meeting, I needed to work many hours; thus the record reminds me also of the needed wariness in every flight. Besides, it is now time that I put all my attention upon the present flight, before an accident occurs because I am absent-mindedly speaking to you... -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

You did state software, yet a common quick industry fix is routing the signal to tape , or at least preamps or a mixer , then recording to a fresh file. There are many solutions , dependant on the needs and the intended outcome.Part of the problem, for me anyway, is in the mental discipline of aiming at an imaginary point of degradation. Perhaps a helpful analogue is deciding how messy you're going to get before a social event. Some useful software might include chebshev distortion , the Studio Devil british valve custom, and phase reversal if more than one channel is at work. Also bit reduction and lower sampling rates add 'body'. Sometimes minute adjustments in several stages produce a desirable result, sing what you feel is missing then find the frequency of the note and work with that. If you're really fed up record it to tape and stuff it in a corner for ten years by which time it will probably sound amazing. bill On Jul 16, 2009, at 7:44 PM, Andrew Brouse wrote: > Hello microsoundies, > > I am looking for a tool to aid in the 'maculation' of all audio that > enters my ears. > I am finding the immaculate quality of the sounds entering my ears > recently to be unnerving - I am sure that 'someone' is up to > 'something'. > > I have attempted to put insects directly into my ears but they just > died. > It would be great to hear just the insect without any distractions > such as human speech. > > I have tried many polishing tools but nothing seems to do the trick. > Any help that anyone can offer to help me to solve my problem would > be greatly appreciated.

(at least when the temperature is bearable) still hope you give us a second chance next time :) (mostly always last wednesday / month) check out the dates at: http://www.myspace.com/klubmoozak cheers, clemens Am 30.07.2009 um 17:04 schrieb Damian Stewart: > clemens hausch wrote: >> hi bob! > >> *KLUB MOOZAK #25:* >> wednesday/mittwoch >> *29/07/2009* - 21:00 CET >> *FLUC VIENNA* >> FREE ENTRY > > we went down at around 21:45 last night and nothing had started, > there was > no-one in the concert room and the bar staff said that probably things > wouldn't begin until 22:30 or 23:00. we're old and tired, so we went > home. > > hate that about gigs. why don't people put the real start time on the > flier? grumble grumble. > > will probably go along to the next one though (that is if i can sort > out my > residence permit nonsense, EU immigration laws suck balls). > > -- > damian stewart | skype: damiansnz | damian at frey.co.nz > frey | live art with machines | http://www.frey.co.nz > _______________________________________________ > microsound mailing list > microsound at microsound.org > http://or8.net/mailman/listinfo/microsound - http://www.moozak.org http://www.myspace.com/clemenshausch http://www.unfinishedbusiness.at http://www.myspace.com/klubmoozak -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
