The Leif BRUSH professional career in sound, since 1964, has explored an intermediary role, sharing through various satellite 2-way sound works and real time public performances, the potentials- some requiring modification for listening- using solar powered highly amplified sensors- and which might not be heard for perceiving the range of contextual voltages derived from nature. He's now an emeritus art professor from the Department of Art & Design, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Minnesota US. He received an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago: http://www.d.umn.edu/~lbrush/lbarchivesc1.html.
Leif has, for decades, acquired a matching vocabulary whose pace evolved together with his sound works. Both epicentrally re-radiate those sought after and then found highly amplified signals from an array of audible constructions: sensor-laden terra instruments. Signal source scrutiny was sought from analog unique identities as potential catalysts and conduits for recontextualizing Earth's wave and vibration "sound tracks." Particular focus is on these artifacts from terrestrial (and extraterrestrial resources) which he hopes can outflow along side the present one-way aural and visual streams currently available via Internet 1, cable. digital broadcasts and handhelds. His Internet-2 quest seeks, in real time, an on call 2-way availability from this overwhelming and perpetual data-laden artifacts which could be Y-connected onto the public Internet 2 "pipe". The flux status he's advocating would sustain his ground work for making sounds available 'on through invisible boundaries, from specific Latitude and Longitude nodes, which would be UTC synced.' He's advocating ('using multiple cell phones") that we all could use for audibly sharing through net-constructing a most obvious and missing aural aspect of our being earth guests. It's a special activation of a long term memory niche for "our" vibrations we have in common while riding on "spaceship earth.' http://www.d.umn.edu/~lbrush/asensors.html Since 2000, Leif's collective Internet pages have reached beyond these, as project archives, and all have defined his zeroing of specific voltages from nature. The beyond? There is a black hole aspect of Internet 2 which beckons exploration conceptually and requires sustained interactions.
Recently, his segued Internet 2 project concepts include eventual perpetual real time streaming. Initially this would include individualized sources, e.g., neighborhood FM networks and hand held 1st person sound tracks derived from physical nature. The objective is to concentrate on border less aural natural sounds and specifically, those conducive aspects of Global's analogs. Fore example, using approximately 25 mile seperations, such a network could sync their tethered box kites , cellphones, etc, and share a wind front from 10 to x height. Conceptual workshop starter pages are here. http://www.weblackwhole.net/terrestrialsndgs.htm#anchor1407878 I'm asking for what a person wishes to seek personal sounds and exchange these among friends- in order to develop the base for a fluxed whole. These would be on call in a blackwhole until recipients ask for them to stitching their uniqly synced contributions. The temporary collection which existing would be downloaded at home and/or where results could merge spatially with other contributors for the creation of a water-like flowing stream of soundings- for ear and eye. Which is to say, human beings are orchestrating, from terrestrial resources, what they prefer to hear themselves. For example, I would provide sensor-monitorings from wind-stirred trees, windscube and xyz box kite (in effect producing "sounds imaging). Its conceivable that someone would seek audio from a sensor-derived Australian rock strewn creek and its adjacent tree sounds; from others collaborators could use UTC time/date codes to compile a months sounds and align them using DSP or, they could sync related sound works from individuals for adding their DSP/syncd soundings to trade and thus, digitally joining these offerings as ongoing streams as an annual perpetual international listening performance. Such a cyclic process would have as its challenge a collection of on/off natural resources that may incorporate sounds as to scale and proportion regarding original contextual sources- as perceived by the eyes. A given months sounds could be resumed at the same time in a subsequent year. It has been a long standing interest of mine my to achieve the re-awakening, via prehistoric ears, toward the natural energy in a world wired for what; reaffirming the need to reconnect with natural phenomena in realtime. The engagement I seek with you is for ongoing, participatory Internet2 events in which an ear approach is the basis for a new hearing of nature, and working towards the goal of aspects of recontextualized sound in art as the equal to Earth's visual phenomena.
