Check out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lenlyefoundation.com\/blog-item\/4\/\">this<\/a> <em>&#8220;Work is almost complete at the University of Canterbury College of Engineering to build a \u2018gallery sized\u2019 working model of Lye\u2019s Sun Land and Sea \u2013 his most ambitious outdoor work&#8230;. The performance culminates with a \u2018lightning-like\u2019 discharges of electricity. At full scale, this work will be 150 feet long and almost as high! Although Lye built several working models of Sun, Land and Sea he never realised the full scaled work in his life time.<br \/>\nThe research and construction of the 30 foot \u2018indoor\u2019 model is being undertaken by PhD candidate in Mechanical Engineering, Alex O\u2019Keefe. Alex is studying the travelling and standing waves that form when the steel strip is excited at one end. The picture to the left shows waves being generated on the test rig at the university..<br \/>\nAlex has also become proficient at creating \u2018lightning bolts\u2019, and other electrical effects required for this work with the help of staff and colleagues in the High Voltage laboratory.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6 interesting experiment trying to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/programmes\/p02kqgpf\">record the sound of an owls wings<\/a> (thanks Arnald!)<br \/>\nSimilarly there is a native NZ owl, the Morepork, which has silent wings&#8230; but I got really close to one, late one night &#8211; its calls were really close to me, but when I started to get my camera out I felt this sudden thrum of ultrasound &#038; it was gone&#8230; So my theory is the wings are silent except for low freqeuncies, which presumably is below mice etc hearing range..<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u25b6 can you imagine what these shoes would sound like? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yatzer.com\/fantich-and-young\">super creepy foley<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/110553497?color=fa0207&#038;title=0&#038;byline=0&#038;portrait=0\" width=\"740\" height=\"416\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; \u25b6 I won&#8217;t get to visit Bjorks retrospective at MOMA so this will have to do &nbsp; \u25b6 check out this analog style visual synth for OSX: lumen &nbsp; \u25b6 The Sounds of Nature, Transcribed and Composed &nbsp; \u25b6&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":8,"footnotes":""},"categories":[121,11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-detritus","category-sound-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21038"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21088,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21038\/revisions\/21088"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21038"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21038"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.musicofsound.co.nz\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21038"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
