biological aesthetic audio systems notes

1. -place 100 moths into a lucite prism.
-in the center of the prism, place a directional microphone.
-on either side of the prism, place a light.
-alternately dim each light up and down.
-amplify or record the sound of the moths moving between the sides of the prism.
-process as desired.

2. places 500 roaches into a sealed box with a microphone. what sound does their colony make?

3. in a large room filled with birds, open a delay and feedback system containing 4 to 8 speakers with discrete input and multiply panned output. allow the system to develop into a large mass of feedback. discover how the birds produce sound in reaction with recorded iterations of their own sounds.

4. -in a public room, build a very large phonograph cylinder.
- fit the cylinder with three successive play heads and one record head.
- place a microphone on one side of the room and a speaker on the other.
- activate the apparatus and allow it to run for a week or more.
- observe the long term changes in the sound produced.
