Re: [microsound] w/r/t silence



I was played a piece recently which was a field recording made in Denmark or
Holland or somewhere around there, and sped up I think 80 times.  You could
hear standing waves from the Atlantic Ocean 8-) as well as all kinds of
other noise of moving air; distant slamming doors and so on, I can't
remember many more details (like the name of the cd, would be handy).

More like hardware, I should think.  A solid preamp, I don't know if it
would have to be specialized.

Well, what is sound but changing air pressure?
