Noise to Signal to Noise

Thesis and Idea

We rarely experience real silence. There is always some kind of "sound" happening. Defining "sound" / acoustic wave as an energy propagation though the medium air. "Sound" is not only what(/ the frequencies) we hear, it is also a bodily experience of this pressure-wave. (Eg. People who are deaf also enjoy music)

Collect and convert the data into something that can easily be experienced. → create an abstraction wich is shaped by the collected data this could be a soundscape of artificial sounds (maybe in a binaural setup).

Sense the presence of sound of different frequencies and sources and make them experienceable.

Technical solutions

- Microphones with "pysical-filters"

- Vibration sensors attached to trees, other plant or objects in the environment. (Eg. Trees are moved by the wind and are oscillating differently. This is affected by biological factors)

Physical-Filters: Objects obtained near the installation. Such objects could be leafs, thin pieces of wood, wich are placed right in front of the microphones. The sound has to travel tough these objects.

Research and Process

Performance Software for binaural panning of several audiosources in Max/Msp using data from an Arduino for control of the azimut and elevetation.

Interesting video about sonification.

-I went on a hill in Jena. Decades ago it was used for viticulture but since then it was recalimed by nature. I found the remains of human made structures such as walls made from stacked stone, steppes and paths wich are changed by the roots of trees and bushes groving there now.
-Also there are burrows made by foxes and occacianal some bones probably from deers.

-Since Jena is located in the vally, sound from the city gets reflected at the hills and travels between them. At certain spots it is possible to hear sounds from the city clearly while standing in a forrest.

-I climbed on a tree an sat on a branch looking through the foliage. A breeze moved the leaves in a way diferent waves of movement appeared horizontally and vertically.
