    thekidshouldseethis:

    Japanese performance artist Kenichi Kanazawa taps a rubber mallet on a steel table to make sound vibrations that create beautiful transforming sand patterns. Using a scientific sound-visualizing process called Cymatics, he is able to manipulate the complex sand shapes by making frequencies visible through these vibrations: the higher the frequency, the more complex the design.

    Previously: More Chladni patterns and some Oobleck, just for kicks.

    I don’t know why we haven’t posted anything on Disquiet’s Junto until now.  

    The Disquiet Junto is a collaborative music-making space in which restraints are used as a springboard for creativity. It is produced in association with Disquiet.com

“During my research as an artist-in-residence at the European ceramic workcentre (‘s-Hertogenbosch) 2010, I have used the sense of hearing as my main inspiration, and as a guiding principle for integrating these elements. Through the ages, ceramics have represented, transferred and preserved expressions of our cultures. In a way, ceramics carry our lasting heritage.
I turned ceramics into a permanent medium for the recording of our spoken words, vitally important but fragile parts of our identity… I built a collection of porcelain records. They can be listened using a 78-rpm turntable”

    This film is composed from a number of sound and video recordings collected from the landscapes and structures in the Headlands area. The mostly wind affected objects show aeolian, flute and resonant effects.

    Video of rehearsal and performance at The Music Box

    The Music Box is an interactive musical village in the city of New Orleans. It was built by over 23 artists. Each structure houses an invented instrument that investigates the notion of playing a house. The sound artists who made these instruments are experimenting with musical architecture.  They are preparing for Dithyrambalina, a full-scale musical house collaboration with the artist Swoon.

    Reflection - Ethan Rose

    Reflection matches a series of electro-mechanical bells with a set of distinct, corresponding speakers. Each speaker plays back a reversed recording of a bell, and at the exact moment that the recording ends, the actual bell strikes.
