What is the sound of one beetle scraping?
Dunn is recording sounds normally shut out from human hearing range. Nature’s tiniest creatures make their own music. Dunn, 53, captures the lyrics on his homemade microphones and shares them with the world.
Read the whole article HERE. Through Aug. 26 as part of the Scenic Overlook exhibit, an audio piece by Dunn plays during gallery hours, from 10AM to 9PM at the Center for Contemporary Arts, 1050 Old Pecos Trail in Santa Fe. Check out his web site Acoustic Ecology.
I found this on the web site:
An ingenious new study has shown that male and female mosquitoes respond to each other’s presence by shifting the pitches of their buzzes (changing the speed of their wingbeats) until they match. Females gradually increase the pitch of their buzz, while males more dramatically lower the pitch of theirs, until they are at the same frequency. Within a second, the buzzes of the two insects are in perfect harmony.
You can listen to mp3 files of the buzzes HERE, HERE and HERE.
Thanks Carol.
I can feel my body itching & welt forming just listening to those sounds. I’ll pass on the mosquito music, thanks.
