telegraph wires recorded w/ contact mics anyone?

I have heard hints of this from the high tension power lines cutting across the farm, but it's much cooler captured by contact vibration and layered....

I’m pretty sure the foley artist for Star Wars got the laser gun or light saber sounds from micing up some high tension wires. Not the ones that carry electricity, the ones that help keep the towers from blowing over in high wind.

Thanks m8! Putting it on now! Will edit this post when I'm through! Thank you!

put me right in the zone

Fuck it. Not editing my post. Good stuff dude! It makes me sad listening to that sort of thing though. It reminds me of when I went to the Rubin Museum for 'The World Is Sound' exhibition. I was in a traditional Hindu shrine and can only describe hearing "the best music I have ever heard". It was a harmonically rich drone, with singing bowls over dubbed and harmonizing Hindu Nuns singing to a goddess. I e-mailed the museum about it I was so into it. Unfortunately... it was made just for the exhibition . No recordings to be bought.

Listened to this a couple of days, forgot to reply.
Nice set HAK, I played this on headphones while reading and it was super relaxing. Don't know if it's due to the recording mix or what but the electronic processing part was really quiet, anyway i appreciate the set nonetheless.

Probably mostly the way in the room... I was trying to be really aware of not being too on top of the bowls, and just shade in the background and leave as much space as possible. It felt good in the flesh 'cause you can get the vibrations of the bowls as a bit of a vibration/feeling besides the sonic element and I didn't want to overwhelm that.

I figure I've seen lots of electronics stuff that overwhelmed acoustic accompaniment, so I'm going to try and err on the side of hanging back. To the extent I can!

Where's Muddy Pussy? Is he in Africa or Boise with Jeffro Muganda and Uganda Boy?

I missed this recording by Heraclitus Akimbo when he posted it, so I'll say thanks very much for doing so! Have you ever tried rubbing a singing bowl with either a wooden stick (with felt wrapped around it) or tried filling them with differing amounts of water before tapping them? Either can add weird textural effects (the former makes very intense drones if you can get the bowl vibrating at the right speed and the latter sounds a bit liquid or sometimes muffled; it seems to depend on the amount and how thick the metal of the side of the bowl is)

Muddy Pussy seems to have vanished from ILF (I'm not much better; this year has been horrendous work-wise leading to no spare time at all to think about music) although he posts on his Youtube channel a fair bit...
