Noise for Airports

Vibrations and how they get to your ears.

Noise for airports is a blog about culture, sound, music, and technology.

You can filter the posts to see just things I wrote or made.

OrganOOn is a great site-specific sound installation. 

For Electrified02, [Roberta Gigante] decided to ‘hack’ the harbour of Ghent with a sound installation that turned twelve rusty, gigantic metal pipes stored there into didgeridoo-like sound cylinders.

I’m big fan of turning environmental features into musical instruments. This reminds me a bit of those public organs that make sound from tidal motion.

Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, played on soda bottles.

Similar to the Dirty Projectors’ gimmick, but a little less impressive. (But maybe more doable at home!)

“It’s a sonic cartography of the lower atmosphere: an echo-location exercise. The geometry of noise. Sound-bombing L.A. from above in order to know the exact acoustic shape and structure of the sky.”
