Oh nice, not done much in the way of field recordings recently but I just got some new microphones so thinking of getting back on it…
I have to admit, I was quite pleased with it…
Tremendous fun at @fullofnoises.bsky.social the past couple of days making music for the Barrow Park Halloween ghost train.
Installation and action day tomorrow. Excited hear our sounds pumping out from from the sculptures/speaker housings the kids have made with John Powell Jones…

I don’t have any and I don’t think @wiaiwya.bsky.social does either, but there are a few on Discogs…
Restock coming soon by the way…

Been making a new album. This is the palette. More to follow…
Still, as a conceptual experimental piece, I like the idea…
I think the idea was to use varying degrees of metamorphosis around a volcanic plug or igneous intrusion. I agree, the speed of sound is a big issue and, if all the hammers are the same, the only difference is going to be timbral as opposed to pitch.
Ive never been able to verify that this actually happened. Has anyone heard of it?

I’m sure my A level geology teacher told me a story about a geologist/composer who set up a bunch of people at different outcrops on the side of a mountain with hammers then somehow signalled to them when to hit their respective rocks, thus using the whole mountain as an instrument.
