NOTES AND THEME PHOTOS

SUPER BANG RESONANCES







I don't have a photo
showing it so this will have
to do for the following description.
In the description, a geometry art paper
cutout like this is on the back of the TV stuck
upright in the pinched 3-way tip of a tripod holding
the cutout about 9 inches high in the air. The assembly
was very lightweight. In result the following
happened early one afternoon. The TV
was cranked to full volume.







This
cropped
from another photo,
is the object on the TV whose chance
momentary position vibrating and moving at the back
of the TV, momentarily bought a full scale rock band into the livingroom.
A pulsed sonic distrupter is seen standing on edge of a hexagon
lock nut of the kind to be found in the boiler room
of an industrial site. These worked just fine
as temporary supports in sonic tests. Just
the upright geometry cutout was on
the TV, in the following report.

SHORT STORY

The object
started to vibrate. It
was becoming more and more
blurred as you looked at it. I felt
it was in the best hot spot on top of the TV
and left it there, going around and around the room
adjusting things discretely again and again and again in a round
robin of fine tuning. The sound kept innexorably getting
better. On the TV music channel came a brand new
release by Leonard Cohen. It had pretty big
base so I got to work tuning anew. All
of a sudden a huge huge sound welled
into the room, at first so huge its
onrush alarmed as I suddenly looked
up then realized it was the TV. Was
I amazed, somewhat dumbfounded. This
was far beyond any power of sound and range
I had been expecting, and after a moment, about a
third of the way further through the song, it vanished.
Just like that it was gone in fact all of the sound was gone.
What had happened is that the paper cutout on top of the TV besides
vibrating vigorously enough to become slightly blurred, had also been
creeping backwards toward the rear edge on its little paper tripod
until a 'chance' critical circumstance occurred, just the right
resonances to pump-amplify the sound to as if Cohen's band
was practicing in the living room. And then, the fucken
thing fell off the TV. That was it, no desire, no
love, no money, no nothing could get back
that sound. The rest of the afternoon
was spent trying to get back that
sound and nothing whatever of
it was heard again. But!
It was THERE. Such
mighty sound
exists. It is
there in latent form
in your livingroom right now.

EDITORIAL

There is one added advantage
which makes sonic resonance sound
reproduction worth pursuing as a new technology
someday for Earth. Poor music, raucus music, ranchy, bad,
discordinant, they all become intolerable. The more the open air
resonance frequencies are engaged the more the beautiful
and harmonic elements in music become noticable. At
the same time, sour notes become so bad you do
not want to ever hear them again. As a fact
Elvis Presly old mono recordings from
the 50's were not that fidelic and
had a few seeming sour notes. It
turns out on some of the songs
large orchestras were playing
overdubbed, and when this was
opened up one afternoon in the
livingroom into huge room stereo
from a mono tape of mono recordings
currently being tested over one channel
of the getto blaster, a sudden major appreciation
of how much we are missing in some of that 50's rock and
roll stuff - some of that stuff was very impressive music, only
thing is, you couldn't tell, because it was recorded and played in mono.


WHAT IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING


Here it is mono
photos being converted into
stereo 3-D pictures to illustrate the converting
of mono sound into stereophonic. Quite an achievement, don't you think?
Most of the people in the world believe such things are impossibe.
Well here is where it is shown they are not, a revelation
for the coming future age so to speak, one of many
revelations already coming world wide. Regards
this particular content, some of the people
are wrong some of the time. It is no good
when all of the people are wrong all of
the time. Let's change it now. Here's
your chance. Let's do it fast.

A SPIDER MAKES HOME
IN THE GARAGE LIGHT FIXTURE

DANGLING FESTOONS

Around the time
that hexagon slinkies
came into the picture, one of
them hung for awhile in the doorway to
the kitchen festooned with geometry cutouts, the
cutouts could be 'focused' by where they were placed along
the vertical length of the slinky, and at which angle they faced the
soundstream, every size of cutout was tried and also just one up
to 4 or 5. The problem was that after obtaining an ideal
place for a cutout, soon after it could break
loose, winding around and around in
slow motion down the slinky
loosing its 'focus'.
Tape to hold it
didn't work.







At the moment
this photo was taken
two art paper geometry cutouts
(lower) and a giant snowflake of plastic
cartwheels (upper) are festooned to the dangling slinky
in the kitchen doorway to the living room. The pendulum clock is
on the right. In this photo three objects are attached to its
shaft. For most of its use only two objects (a large
cutout and tiny cutout) neither of which is
in this picture were comprised as
the swinging penduum. Open
cupboard doors to the
right are acting
as baffles.


THE ORIGINAL

THE PENDULUM CLOCK

Turns out
this is the only
photo I have showing the
'Pendulum Clock' the subject of
many a long passage in the latter day
narratives of NEWSOUND. It is a pendulum clock
motor costing $24 dollars Canadian from a hobby and craft
store. It was a harrange to get it swinging. Hours sometimes to
get the thing swinging and to stay in motion tick after tick
for more than a few minutes. Once in motion it could stay
ticking (like a Timex) for days. Once upon a time it
would not stay ticking for more than a moment
for a couple of days until the little
squirrel in the cage speeded up
and it was found that the
AA battery had expired.
The difficulty was
in pinning the
clock to the
top of the
doorframe in
such a way that
the pendulum hung in
an angle downward suitable
to let it swing free without friction
the difficulty being the weight of the objects
taped to the pendulum's shaft caused the shaft to tilt so
that getting J U S T the right angle for it
to swing freely was a major occupation
whenever it stopped, by being
justled by a shoulder
for instance.
It was a
heck of
a good
device,
just its
presence and
motion opening up
sonic vibrations to carry
more freely in fidelic ways into
other rooms of the house, out of the
living room. In particular, its
motion clarified subtle
nuances in the
base ranges.


As a matter of fact
the pendulum clock isn't there.
Working in haste I thought it was behind
the Globe. Here is a recreation, the pendulum clock re-assembled
in May 1997 and shown as looked when
working two years earlier.

BEYOND TURBO ROAR
A SUDDEN GANGUP OF FORCES
LAUNCHES A SPEAKER BOX THROUGH THE AIR

Now, there is
one other aspect of
this simple seeming layout
to report. In the background off
camera to the right against the rear wall
of the dining room, a giant starflake was spinning
pinnioned to the shaft of a model car motor controlled by an
8 ohm direct current reostat and powered by an
ordinary flashlight battery, power leads
taped to each end of the battery.
The problem in controlling
the speed of the motor
slow enough to start
engaging in vibronnic resonnance
responses instead of just kicking the sound
stream with higher speed disruption. The real problem was
that the model car motor wanted to kick in at a minimum of about six
or seven revolutions per second where as sonic interface gains
were expected to enter in at around 1/2 to 1 revolution
per second. Fuss was going on with the motor and
turning starflake adjusting its position. A
shirt sleeve brushing against slowed
the spin momentarily and the
speaker you see parked on
the stand took off and
sailed through the
air, hitting the
floor. What had
happened is a pirate
factory tape of golden oldies
from the 50's was on, it had mono recordings
originally sold as 78's, and a standard rock and roll was
playing with hard swap on the snare drum and big standup base boogie
notes. All of a sudden the sound started to swell and grow in
volume to a huge gain and opened right up into a kind of
stereo as if you were standing in the middle of the
band playing live in the dining room, the sound
was immense, the other thing was that the
whole thing dropped in frequency by at
least two whole octaves, and just as
the awe was striking what? WHAT?
and turning around, it was just
in time to see the sepeaker
box pitching off the end of the
table onto the floor. That was the first
experience ever with sudden gangup of power that
began to produce true live sonic recreation, lasting only for
a few bars of the music but holy smoke! what a boost. And, of course,
no reasoning on Earth could recreate that moment in time with
that experimental settup, it was a chance occcurrence
coming when everything was on the very verge of
chaos for instance the speaker box was not
planted firmly on the stand it was eased
to the edge, on the verge of chaos it
had better respondent resonances
almost but not quite tettering
until gang up of mighty impact
vibrations coming from the suddenly
rejuvinated original rock and roll band took
it over the edge. If you read between the lines of this
last long paragraph there is a whole book of sonic lore that you
will see re-emphased and amplified as you read on
in the NEWSONIC photo story.

Older model big cars
before the era of electronnic
ignition and fuel injection had an interesting
characteristic they could wear out the wires to the plugs getting
weak and sparking the whole engine sluggish and running
slow with little fast power but could go to 60
or more miles per gallon running on the
edge of chaos and could torque in
3rd gear slowly up the side
of a mountain one thud
turn of the engine
after another
in slow
motion.
Sonic resonance
experiments have shown a
similar characteristic, the more tightly
controlled, the more securely locked in place a device
or embodiment, the more sonic resonances and vibrations do not appear.
Loose, almost tipping over, extremely delicately balances on
a pin point of support, taped together just so it holds
together but could not hold its shape in a hurricane,
these elements on the edge of chaos always produced
best sound, best effect, best resounding long
distance echoes rebounding and kabooming
to the ends of their time even seconds
to fade not the clipped half second
ends to loud sounds in typical
modern day stereo sets and
stereo TV. Always, on the
edge of chaos, bordering
on the edge of disaster, these
made standout moments in the history
of these tests. The down side was collapse into
chaos, sudden aprupt eruptions of nothing but raw naked loud
noise, at times enough to drive a speaker box backward or forward
skittering across the table, and also compression collapse
the whole sound stream folding up like an accordian
and all accoustic noticables disappearing into
a sound something like a portable AM radio
working at getto blaster volume, seeming
as if your ears were being twisted
sideways is one way of describing
some of these collapsed compression
effects that occurred during sonic tests
over the 5 years, sometimes just moving a piece
of paper on a desk chair was enough to cause sudden collapse
the sound you were listening to to literally creep away around the
corner to be replaced by a squeezed tight sound that was
slightly painful depending on which direction you
turned your ears, eerie because it was at
low volume when the sound was at
most compression unpleasant.
But, I digress, as they
say. On with the
show.


Not exactly.
The digression is stating
that sonics can be used also to control
sound waves of many characters, creating half waves only,
even waves phase turned sideways, by environmental re-enforcement
means entirely independent of the sound generating source.

QUASAR'S STASH OF CHEWIES


Once again a wobbling
image from the $16 110 mm Kodak
Camera sold brand new at K-Mart. It seemed
like such a good buy. The only problem is the lens
was a piece of stamped plastic. Mono images look ok but in
Virtual Stereo 3-D, major distortions in the lens are obvious. That is a
pole lamp in front of the patio window. It had nothing to do
with sound experiments except that its exact position
was shifted around by an inch or two
every now and then. See NOTE
further below.







Quasar's (the dog') stash
of chewies have been gathered
up and piled in the left corner out of
the way during critical sound tests. Within two or
three days the chewies would have been redistributed back through
the living room in particular hot spots the ever diligent dog
could particularly hear. Most all chewie placements
by the dog cooled or ended sharp shrills or hot
spikes of strident extra sound that subtly
plagued the sound stream from the
RCA stereo TV when operating
for view or background
listening. It was
often on a music
channel which
broadcast good
listening orchestral,
jazz, and big band all in Mono


In watching the dog
do this the sense would want
to deny the perceptions. Quasar would
drop a chewie and stare concentrating for a few
seconds then give the chewie a slight swipe or nudge with
a paw or nose then immediately walk away as the sound stream changed
to better squelch. It would seem (the perception) that the
dog was perhaps clumsily lucky but no (the senses)
could hear change that could not be improved.
I would go over (after Quasar left) and
try and fine tune the chewie to no
avail it was always best in the
exact spot and orientation
where Quasar had placed
it, without exception.


It turns out that
the casual seeming swipe
was always exactly the amount
needed to fix the chewie in the best
spot. Like all careful wildlife not an extra
move or ounce of energy is wasted in getting a job
done. Quasar the little brown dog
was no different.


Mono broadcast as the
TV background music channel
always ressurrected in stereo in the
giant sound stream image in the living room.
It took a lot of work to supress the sonics and harmonics
to arrive back at a mono sound, just for comparision now and then once
environmental sonic tuning was in place at long distances
throughout the house, a plateau which came
slowly over several months.

I have included
photos of the dog not because
I have to show off the dog, but because
the dog taught me things about the sound experiments, And
so deserves credit. Just describing is not enough.
when a photo is worth a thousand words.







Here is a photo
that does show off the dog.
After watching humans do it, circ. 1987
in the summer Quasar decided one day he was going to
open cigarette packages too. Thereafter he did, regarded it as a
kind of solemn duty. The task was to open a corner and
produce a cigarette ready for smoking you did not
get the pack (fangs) until Quasar was ready
the pack open, the dog would step back.
Often enough it failed with a broken
cigarette or two and often also
the pack's wrong end opened.
Sometimes curiosity. One
day a pack got stripped
down as far as possible,
every fold undone, every piece
of wrap removed, the outer shell itself
completely opened up and layed on the ground flattened,
the cigarettes in a rough line extending away from the source, quite
the deal, it took Quasar more than four hours to finish the job
to where he stepped back and released the pack. Prior,
for the four hours, any approach to the pack met
with a bit of fang and if in another room
rounding the corner on spinning wheels
to stand quard over the work in
progress if he heard you
approach the pack. You
know of course I
am not advocating smoking.


The NEWSOUND narrative
has descriptions of Quasar beating
his tail to music, Glen Millar and swing era
were amongst the most favorites but imagine a dog beating
a tail in solid time-beat to Dave Brubek's Take Five. And mastering
the 3/4 beat superimposed over a 4/4 beat in the Star Treck
Next Generation Theme Music, odd ball beats like this
Quasar mastered, the first time doing a 3/4 beat
right, in synchro with a busy waltz, the
dog grinned as the tail went swish
swish pause swish swish pause
that day I laughed.

THE NOSE







Quasar would walk
up to the 'clothes line', study
it a moment, nudge the smallest cutout then
walk away. He did this repeatedly numero times over
several weeks because each time, I would get up and move the cutout
back to former place, in hearing some midrange loss. However
Quesar continued to walk up to it, a pause, a quick nudge
with the nose sometimes a second, then walk away. One
day I finally listened. Sure enough, on the moment
of the nudge some high frequency hot spikes up
in the cymbols and violins range vanished.
And a better open air sonics came into
the higher end. It was subtle, but
unmistakable. Turned out that
with that change, a couple
of adjusts of other cut
outs on the 'clothes
line' and mid range
accuity was dramatically
enhanced because unknowingly
I had been compensating, diminishing
the mid range area (violas and trombones)
in trying to work around the higher frequency spikes
which I did not know in outer consciousness were there until
finally one day I woke enough to watch exactly what Quasar was doing
when nudging the small cutout. Thereafter, I always listened
for those high end spikes in any tests and it was not
long before a really sweet well defined high end
was standard in the tests for violins and the
cymbols, thanks to Quasar's nudging
nose. At first the 'clothes line' was
back by the table where he first
started nudging since the small
end protruded out into the path
between living room and kitchen
and I thought the nudge was strictly
an act of play and having fun but then the
'clothes line' was moved between arms of the raised
slinky array and turned around small end foward and here he
continued to nudge. The photo above shows the final alignment of the
'clothes line' flow tube, turned around with smaller cutouts
focused to the criss cross center node of the array.
The dog is being 'helped' in a friendly way in
the photo. Long since tuned into the fact
of the flash, the moment quasar saw
the camera he was either slunked
flat on the floor or slinking
out of the room slowly but
a bit of friendly coax
and he would stay
put head turned
away from the
camera.

NOTE

REGARDS POSITIONING OF OBJECTS

Any high end
stereo dealer worth money
advertises they will come into your
very own home to personally install your new
purchase right in your own living room, big slow words
emphasising what THIS means. What it means is simply stationing
the speakers to produce best sound, sometimes if more money is involved
in the purchase the moving of a chair to two, or the sofa by a
few inches, to add impact to the technical expertise being
demonstrated by knowing how to make the moves. In
sonic tests of the kind I did, EVERYTHING
got moved in the whole environment
not once but many times as the
months and years progressed.
It was tantamount to have
the best sound to also
move furnature objects
around to accomodate new
experiments, these moves no more
than an inch or two or a foot at any time
but often enough a stubborn lesser sound quality
would not remove until after all else was exhausted, moving
an easy chair by an inch or shifting a coffee table
rotating it a few degrees would suddenly
overcome the problem.
