Telephone pickup/magnetic field fluctuation detector + portable fly zapping racket direct to MicroTrak. Recorded in Suffolk 2007. ...this is a direct recording of flies being 'zapped' by a hand-held insect-o-cutor. An old-school surveillance type telephone pickup was attached to the handle (which contains the batteries) enabling a recording to be made of the static zap of a fly hitting the rackets charged grill. This is a short playlist re-edit of the recording that also featured on the \"Recorded While it Actually Happened\" Cassette. The VICE review continues, \"The second side of this extremely yellow 60-minute cassette features \"Electroswat\", a recording of flies being electrocuted; the juicier the fly, the louder the squelch\" My interest and use of playlist editing stems back to when I used to edit with the pre-pro tools application Sound Designer II (Digidesign) in the late eighties and early nineties. Sound Designer II was discontinued many years ago, and is no longer available. My Editing influences include: Omar Santana, Holger Hiller, Latin Rascals and Chep Nunez...
Russell Haswell returns with a complete departure from his real-time computer generated improvisations ('Live Salvage' & 'Second Live Salvage'). WILD TRACKS is a collection of 'deliberate recordings' made with other multi media / film projects in mind. These recordings do not contain any overdubs or compression, and document a wide variety of audio experiences. Taking you to a blowhole in Jamaica, inside an ant colony and to the entrance of wasp nest in Suffolk, on a helicopter ride in St. Lucia, two waterfalls in County Durham, as well as the sound of freshly fallen snow, flies being electrocuted and contributions from various military tactical airlift planes, air defence fighters and attack helicopters. The recordings on WILD TRACKS were realised using a variety of techniques including using hydrophones to record falling snow, recording gamekeepers many fields away with a parabolic dish, as well as binaural, 'near-field' & 'direct'.
At Editions Mego, we understand this to be the first commercially released audio CD to be packaged in a KIDZBOX™ containing a full colour A2 poster with photographs and detailed recording notes.
