Rhythmic Rolling Carts

Posted on July 9, 2009 by John CS Keston

Here’s another example of the sound made as we rolled our carts along cement paths to the Artists on the Verge opening reception show at the Weisman Museum. At a consistent pace each section of pavement made the cart rattle rhythmically.

Artists on the Verge Opening Reception Show

Posted on July 8, 2009 by John CS Keston

This Thursday, July 9, 2009 I am participating in a performance by Andrea Steudel with David Steinman at 9:30pm just outside the Weisman museum in Minneapolis. The performance involves projection, pantomime, and live sound design produced with the GMS. Without giving it away, there will also be things being broken and all sorts of chaotic fun. The performance is part of the Art(ists) on the Verge opening reception which starts at 8:00pm. Here the sound our carts of gear and props made as we wheeled them from the Regis building on the West bank to the Weisman museum on the East bank yesterday.

Binaural Teeth Mounted Spring Plucking

spring Recently I used my home made binaural microphone to record the sound of plucking a spring that I was holding in my teeth. The sound was resonating in my nicely in my skull so I imagined that the best way to record it would be to insert microphone capsules into my ears.

The results weren’t bad, but not exactly what I thought they might be (you never know until you try). Anyway, here’s a segment of that recording in case your curiosity has been piqued.
