First Listen: Daniel Wohl, Holographic
Hear how an emerging composer weaves electronic and acoustic instruments in dense, compelling tapestries of sound. The Paris-born, Los Angeles-based composer has drafted two percussion groups — Mantra and Iktus — plus the Mivos Quartet, Bang on a Can All Stars and singers Olga Bell, from Dirty Projectors, and Pulitzer Prize winner Caroline Shaw, from Roomful of Teeth.

Uncanny Valley
Interactive web audio / visual experience by Altered Qualia for creative platform Fractal Fantasy features photorealistic models with a futuristic twist:
Fractal Fantasy presents ‘Uncanny Valley’, an interactive code experiment by Altered Qualia.
In this piece, Qualia investigates the phenomenon first theorized by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori, wherein he found that the closer a non-human entity resembles a human, the more one empathises with it. However, as it comes even closer to absolute human likeness, we instinctively become repulsed.
The soundtrack, provided by Zora Jones, Martyn Bootyspoon and Sinjin Hawke, illustrates the theory with encroaching dissonant intervals and synthetic yet humanesque vocals.
It doesn’t work well on mobile, but is highly recommended to check out, which you can here
Ra
Sound installation by vtol is an electronic musical instrument reading a rotating Pyrite disk with a laser:
Ra is a sound object / synthesizer which uses laser for scanning the irregularities of the surface of the pyrite disc and further transforms this data to produce sound. Pyrite disc is a rare form of pyrite which is crystallised in radial shape (as unusual disc spherulites) which also was named ‘pyrite suns’ or ‘pyrite dollars’. The only deposit where pyrites of such morphology are found is in Illinois state (USA). Pyrite suns were formed around 300 million years ago.
This project originated as a result of an interesting set of circumstances – a pyrite disc was given to me as a gift by a mineral seller in Boulder city (USA). Upon hearing about my works, she asked to do something with such crystal, and refused to take payment for getting it. In the same period, I was reading articles on various ways of archiving and preservation of sounds from the first, historical sources of the recorded sound – wax discs and other fragile carriers. All technologies were based on the usage of lasers. Inspired by these projects, I set out to create a self-made laser sound reader which would be able to produce sound from various uneven surfaces, using minimal resources to achive it. Thus emerged the idea to construct an instrument using the pyrite disc and a self-made laser sound reader.

Carl Haber is working to scan information off the surfaces of antique recordings so computers can allow them to be heard.
If you’re in need of some background noise, rainycafe.com lets you play an ambient mix of cafe and rain sounds. According to the page itself, ‘Moderate background noise induces distraction which encourages individuals to think at a higher, abstract level, and consequently exhibit higher creativity.'

adding sound effects to videos is a new hobby of mine #remake
The X-Files theme is so serene and calm in major key.
It could be a video game soundtrack
It sounds like the starting village music.

This is so inspiring. This is like the music they play at Epcot when you’re coming in.

Today I participated in a small, all day workshop on integrating Pure Data into Processing. It was informative, but so exhausting for me that I skipped out on opening party events tonight. (Travel and directions to the venue were not so clear or conducive to my attendance so it was a pretty easy call.)
info on the workshop is here: http://www.binaura.net/stc/ws/isea/
code examples are here: https://github.com/stc/Sonic-Instruments-Workshop
I’m happy that I did the workshop and look forward to bending the code to my own desires.
was lucky to meet Christiaan Virant of FM3 while working at MUTEK in 2005. Super nice guy and he gave me one of their Buddha Machines. Check it out, a cool little piece of plastic and circuitry…

World’s largest natural sound archive now fully digital and fully online.
“In terms of speed and the breadth of material now accessible to anyone in the world, this is really revolutionary,” says audio curator Greg Budney, describing a major milestone just achieved by the Macaulay Library archive at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. All archived analog recordings in the collection, going back to 1929, have now been digitized and can be heard at www.MacaulayLibrary.org
“This is one of the greatest research and conservation resources at the Cornell Lab,” said Budney. “And through its digitization we’ve swung the doors open on it in a way that wasn’t possible 10 or 20 years ago.”
It took archivists a dozen years to complete the monumental task. The collection contains nearly 150,000 digital audio recordings equaling more than 10 terabytes of data with a total run time of 7,513 hours. About 9,000 species are represented. There’s an emphasis on birds, but the collection also includes sounds of whales, elephants, frogs, primates and more.
“Our audio collection is the largest and the oldest in the world,” explained Macaulay Library director Mike Webster. “Now, it’s also the most accessible. We’re working to improve search functions and create tools people can use to collect recordings and upload them directly to the archive. Our goal is to make the Macaulay Library as useful as possible for the broadest audience possible.”
The recordings are used by researchers studying many questions, as well as by birders trying to fine-tune their sound ID skills. The recordings are also used in museum exhibits, movies and commercial products such as smartphone apps.
“Now that we’ve digitized the previously archived analog recordings, the archival team is focusing on new material from amateur and professional recordists from around the world to really, truly build the collection,” Budney said. “Plus, it’s just plain fun to listen to these sounds. Have you heard the sound of a walrus underwater? It’s an amazing sound."
Sample some fascinating Macaulay Library sounds:
Earliest recording: Cornell Lab founder Arthur Allen was a pioneer in sound recording. On a spring day in 1929 he recorded this Song Sparrow sounding much as they do today Youngest bird: This clip from 1966 records the sounds of an Ostrich chick while it is still inside the egg – and the researchers as they watch Liveliest wake-up call: A dawn chorus in tropical Queensland, Australia is bursting at the seams with warbles, squeals, whistles, booms and hoots Best candidate to appear on a John Coltrane record: The indri, a lemur with a voice that is part moan, part jazz clarinet Most spines tingled: The incomparable voice of a Common Loon on an Adirondacks lake in 1992 Most erratic construction project: the staccato hammering sounds of a walrus under water Most likely to be mistaken for aliens arriving: Birds-of-paradise make some amazing sounds – here’s the UFO-sound of a Curl-crested Manucode in New Guinea

Spatial Jockey
Project from Japanese developers Psychic VR Lab combines club audio visuals with Virtual Reality, where everyone will get an Oculus Rift fitted with Leap Motion sensor:
Imagine a space in which virtual events and stories are produced and consumed. This is Spatial Jockey, a new platform that allows for sharing of experiences and images in realtime.
The SJ creates virtual spaces and 3D visual experiences, and beams them to the audience, who wear head-mounted displays. The SJ is simultaneously an operator, and a performer.
… DJs connect words and sounds, VJs connect these with images. The SJ takes this to a new level, by connecting and mixing spaces and objects for a new layer of experience.We have embraced this new layer of connections that is the “virtual”, and are experimenting with the hyperlinks of images, sounds, and experience that has now become possible.We hope that the Spatial Jockey will create a new scene and a new culture.
