Composition by Masha Kouznetsova.
"I recorded two tape loops from the sound sample of the Agfa pinhole camera, and developed the composition of found sounds upon these looped sound samples. I also recorded on tape the sound from the real-time map of lightning occurring across the globe and the sound of the magnetosphere from HereGOES satellite, broadcast live via the installation at Wave Farm. The voices feature passages from two books, An Individual Note by Daphne Oram and Água Viva by Clarice Lispector. Both writers poetically discuss their perception of electric currents, light, sound, and the interconnectedness of senses."
This is part of the Obsolete Sounds project, the world’s biggest collection of disappearing sounds and sounds that have become extinct – remixed and reimagined to create a brand new form of listening. Explore the whole project at https://citiesandmemory.com/obsolete-sounds
