A collaborative project with sound artist Aleksander Kolkowski to create a website and web-based record player as a part of the Science and Media Museum’s Sonic Futures exhibition. Sound postcards were popular in the early 1900s and consisted of a postcard accompanied by a small phonograph (or gramophone) record. The website documents the history of this novel recording technology along with the making of some recently commissioned examples and includes a web-based record player for playing them.
Visit the Sound Postcards website to see (and listen to!) the new postcards.

Artist Janet Cardiff, who is perhaps best known for her soundwalks, along with sound studies theorist Michael Bull, both demonstrate how cinematic experiences can be realised through the augmenting of everyday life with mobile audio content delivery technologies [3, 4, 5]. The personal stereo listener, and indeed more recently, and with greater efficiency, the iPod and iPhone listener, rely on the possibility of serendipitous collisions between linear, non-dynamic audio content and their experiences of everyday… read more

These recording experiments involved putting into practice the some of the techniques explained and developed by Hare (2010) and Onley (2011) regarding the detection and recording of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and electromagnetic fields (EMF”s). Hare (2010) describes a technique for detecting and recording the radio wave energy from a mobile phone. He explains that loop antennae of specific measurements resonate at a specific frequency and are therefore capable of detecting different EMF”s from different sources…. read more
