Hypersonic Landscapes (Low Frequency Version), 2019
zvuková kompozice, 11 min

 

Field recordings from sites in urban landscape where sound at the upper limit of audibility is constantly present. Sound produced by various technical devices, sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally as a method of modulation/conditioning of the environment as in the case of bird, rodent or teenager repellent. In both cases the sounds are at the edge of attention, ephemeral yet intense.

In this version the recordings are frequency-shifted two octaves lower, so all the sounds can be heard in common audible spectrum.
