HANDMADE HEXAGRAM DEVICES USED IN NEWSONIC SOUND EXPERIMENTS

POST SONICS

Here
are three
more each included
because of the short story each
has to tell. First is the livingroom in a
3 bedroom house in Orleans (Ottawa suburb east of
city), hexagram slinky arrays stretched in a six-star matrix
out across the living room floor, the little brown dog named
quasar used to toggle a hexagram paper cutout hanging
at the end of one of the strands and one or two
jogs with the nose - instantly the sound
would improve - this little dog having
good ears and you have to admire
a dog who tries so hard, and
gets it right - saw me
jog the paper
cutout a
few
times,
heard the sound
improve, got the message,
started doing it himself. The good
news about the hexo slinky array is it stablized
the sound stream so that fidelic stereophonic sound produced
from mono speakers hanging in the open air sounded the same through
the hours not changing to intolerable weird distortions by the
simply movements of any object including just a pencil or
a coffee cup since essentially I was walking around
inside a giant speaker enclosure the way this
experiment was set up in its final days,
the 3 bedroom house the location
where work was done coming
up with a new anti
virus program
for Dos computers
two of us working in the house,
got Editor's Choice in PC Magazine in Europe
for the effort produced in this house producing anti virus
packages for sale in stores and doing the anti virus developement
on two computers in and around everywhere where the sound experiment
was underway, the small clock motor with paper triangle tripod
on it turning once every second disrupted destructive
standing waves allowing for louder deeper base,
the tripod is still in use today in my
living room now hanging from a
standup wire facing the
TV and doing the
same thing,
breaking
destructive
standing waves from
an RCA stereo TV, January, 2001



The
second
picture shows
a Philco wooden portable
radio from the late 40's, no longer
in existence it got trashed by a mad storage locker
owner who destroyed 20 years of research illustrations and templates
for the sake of a couple of hundred dollars. The Philco had several small
test tubes no longer vacuum tight, when on, AM only, it buzzed loudly.
A couple of days experimenting with sonic room tuning using 6
sided handmade matrix devices, it came to pass that the
buzz was eliminated entirely from the sound stream
and the AM sound was stereo. What happened is
the buzz not in the sound stream became
supressed by cross harmonic factors
in the sound stream to where the
buzz was snuffed out by strong
original stereo resonances, not
snuffed out by overpowering with
volume but snuffed out by the low
calibre resonances of the buzz being
cancelled to make room for super sonics.
Later, another similar advent occurred. A dirt
cheap tape cassette from a Hong Kong pirate factory
included cuts taken from old worn out 78 rpm records so well
worn some of the cuts were riddled with loud needle pops crackles and
worn groove hissing in those days 78's were played on steel needles.
An experiment had got underway discovering old original Elvis
Preslies from the mid-50's had fully evolved symphony
orchestras in the background on the release the
symphony only a quality of homongenous
sound in the background but when
exposed to the kind of tests
I was doing suddenly the
whole symphony would
open up. What also
happened is a cut
made from a worn
out 78 would start
off ridden with loud
pops and crackles and then
suddenly they fell silent the pops
and crackles first appearing very minor here
and there within a now loud stereophonic sound stream
then finally one afternoon gone you could no longer hear the
needle the re-creation of original sonic stereo cross harmonics in
the original recording studio using mono only miking, took over
completely and damped out the needle pops which had not
been recorded in the original sound. You bet.
I was pleased with myself that day

That
is the
short story
of how re-enforcing
resonances can completely stamp
out the sound coming from a speaker that
is not in the original recorded source
for the sound stream

The
third photo
is the only experiment
I was not able to duplicate. On
the floor is a small cardboard leatherette case
mono walkaround radio with handle, very common
at one time, a two dollar buy at a Salvation Army outlet, it had
both AM and FM. I used FM, had the back open and the radio propped
on its side on the floor the entire surrounds room tuned to the nth degree
with sonic applications when in the door walked a friend who, brought
into the livingroom, was asked to claim where the stereophonic
sound was originating, low volume, nonetheless stereo
and more than adequately fidelic to impress
the friend, the friend pointed to
one of the pairs of speakers,
no, walked around, pointed
to another, no, walked
around, selected a
3rd pair, no,
it was all
coming from
the single tiny
little tweeter in the
back of the exposed box lying on
the floor. Things were constantly progressing
very fast in these sound experiments, a week passed and
the box was still lying there but hadn't been hooked up for days
when dingdong along came back the friend with another an MD very high
up in important local Ottawa levels of MD who wanted to hear the
experiment, couldn't get it to work the same, got some
sound but nothing you wanted to listen to and
stereo was hard to tell at best. Away
went the two the MD thinking the
whole thing was bogus,
the friend thinking
perhaps an hallucination
had occured last time here, and I
wondering how the heck it was that I got such
good responses out of the little thing the first time around
