Dictaphone Parcel

Dictaphone Parcel is an animation based on a sound recorded with a dictaphone travelling secretly inside a parcel. As the hidden recorder travels through the global mail system, from London to Helsinki, it captures the unexpected. We hear a mixture of abstract sounds, various types of transport and even discussions between the mail workers. The animation visualizes this journey by creating an imaginary documentary.

Musical Stones of Skiddaw in North Cumbria, England

For centuries, man had made music out of nature. The Musical Stones of Skiddaw are one such example, where there the ringing of the rocks creates the most melodious of sounds. Over the years, the rocks have been incorporated into a large musical instrument, that for some of us, mimics the xylophones we used to play in some of our first music classes as children.

According to the Musical Stones of Skiddaw Blog, the updated instrument is a 14 foot-long 1.5 ton stone xylophone made in 1827 by Keswick stonemason Joseph Richardson out of rare 'hornfels' rock found between the mountains Skiddaw and Blencathra in North Cumbria, UK.

Chook the Lyrebird

(YouTube link)

You might recall Sir David Attenborough introducing us to the lyrebird, a master of mimcry (and later the wonderful remix). Chook the lyrebird lives at the Adelaide Zoo. After a period of construction at the zoo, Chook was able to recreate the sounds of hammers, saws, and power tools exactly. Link, -Via: Arbroath, Via: Neatorama

Techno Song Made From Actual Jeep Sounds

Julian Smith and friends spent 7-hours filming Techno Jeep, a techno song created using nothing but sounds made with the vehicle -- remixed using a synth / mixer. Continue reading for the video. LINK, Via: Youtube



The sounds in this video are ACTUAL sounds from the Jeep. Everyone began rehearsing their parts 2 weeks before they shot the video. It took us 7 hours of filming to get a solid take.

Ever Heard Of The Trogon?

The Trogon - it sounds like a species of alien out of Star Trek or Doctor Who. However, this family of somewhat overlooked birds has its roots very firmly on planet Earth.

If asked to list bird families, where would the Trogonidae be on your list? Chances are, way down or not at all. However, these exquisite birds are well worth a look.

Alligators Sing! (But Not to Attract Mates)

Chinese alligators like a good sing-a-long, but they don't worry about carrying a tune. They also don't much care what the opposite sex thinks of the song choice, according to a story on National Geographic News.

Researchers with the Chinese Academy of Sciences ran some tests to see whether alligator "songs"--it's really more like sustained, extremely loud croaking, which the researchers compare the sound to thunder--attract mates to the singer. Surprisingly, it didn't work that way.

And yet, the alligators do seem to sing more during mating season. So far, the best guess is that the songs are really a way of saying,"Hey, I'm an alligator, too. And I'm over here!" Which, in the context of mating, is just the time-honored tradition of hoping the opposite sex notices that you exist. LINK: Boingboing

Top 10 Eerie Recordings

Thomas Edison wasn't the first person to record sound. A Frenchman named Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville actually did it earlier.

He invented a device called the phonautograph, and, on April 9, 1860, recorded someone singing the words, "Au clair de la lune, Pierrot repondit." But he never had any intention of playing it back. He just wanted to study the pattern the sound waves made on a sheet of paper blackened by the smoke of an oil lamp.

A group of researchers found some of his old phonautograph papers and used a computer program to play the recording.

"Au clair de la lune,
Mon ami, Pierrot..."
