<div style="CLEAR: both">Hi perhaps we could have a general discussion about the relationships between environment/landscape/geography and music.</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">It's something I've been thinkin about a bit. How is our hardware i.e. raw materials for computers related to this kind of geophonic idea?</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">Is there a "computer music". Are computers a very advanced kind of lithophone?</div>

<div style="CLEAR: both">This is a project i found in the Leonardo Music Journal from 2003. It involves using real time data from measurements of "Schumann Resonances" at a research station in Canada.</div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">Title of paper is "The Music of the sphere: an investigation into Asymptotic Harmonics, Brainwave entrainment and the earth as a giant bell". I think it opens up interesting questions about our physical relationship with these phenomena. What would the acoustics of these spaces be like if the resulting works had to be performed? There is some very interesting </div>
<div style="CLEAR: both">stuff about the harmonic series in a spherical cavity and how it changes so the overtones pile up in different ways, interesting ideas.</div>
