VIBRATING by bassling

Here's part of the three-hour ambient drone soundscape I've edited together for the 2010 RPM Challenge.

You can hear a variety of birdsong along with 'the wires' -- a large-scale aeolian harp built by Alan Lamb and Scott Baker for the Unsound Festival. See http://hghlght.blogspot.com/2009/06/wired-for-sound.html for more on this amazing instrument.

A recording from late 2007 can be heard or downloaded below.

IK Multimedia, get your act together.
