"Hearing Vibrations" is scheduled for broadcast on Saturday the 12th of November at 5:30 pm.
Hear it on 87.9 FM if you in the Glasgow area or online.
Hearing vibrations, when inaudible sound transposes senses and touch goes to hearing. We feel vibrations but we don't hear them. They are never the less present. Capturing these vibrations with sensors bring these sounds back into the realm of the audible from the sense of touch.
These vibrations are transmitted through solids and the sound captured is different for each medium where the vibration is present while the source of the vibration remains the same. This work is based on this premises that although the vibrating source may be the same, the captured sound varies wit the medium.
The sounds captured for this work are of the vibrations produced by a small vibrating motor that is placed on various materials thus producing different sounds.
