VLF acoustic == at the moment I'm typing and feeding this into a motion detector which is reproducing the words at an unholy rate; you can hear the result if you dare, listening to the mp3 that will eventually come out of this. In the meantime I'm watching the result on a screen, simultaneously typing and recording the strange mechanisms that are underway.... now for a moment will say something at quite great volume - ok now back into it, see what happens on the recording, goodbye. http://www.asondheim.org/compu.mp3 http://www.asondheim.org/compu2.mp3 frequency raised into audible domain the motion detector is acoustically coupled to a metal table coupled to a cement floor. the room has a number of resonances. objects on the table include the laptop, a large (linux) desktop and small flat-screen monitor. the desktop contributes; the other objects are too small and loosely coupled at best. "Recently I've been at a loss in relation to my work. My projects are just that, projects; they could stop now or go on forever. I want to work on a 'summing up.' No one knows how much time they have, and my work seems so utterly disparate. I'm in a permanent state of being distraught. What I've done up until now is nothing but spew." _
