13-18. Previously released on Drumming For Creation (Touch T33.3, 1985);
again, thanks to Robert Atkins, Prakash Diswani, Lucy Duran & Iain Scott.
20. An adaptation of Disinformation's 'National Grid' apparatus was
included as part of 'Soundproofs' at the Museum of Installation, 5 to 26
July 1997, an exhibition curated by David Clegg. VLF band AC noise
generated infrasounds which radiated from the darkened basement,
resonating the entire gallery. Experiments with conventional microphones
failed to record any documentary evidence, and, despite the presence of
higher harmonics not part of the original installation, this posthumous
simulation is intended to provide some indication of the atmosphere
created at that event. Installation sponsored by Maplin and B&W
Loudspeakers. 25. Recorded in the Santa Rosa National Park, dry tropical
rainforest, Costa Rica. Equipment: Sennheiser MKH 60/30 M&S stereo rig,
30m cable to SQN4s mixer & PDR 1000 DAT. 27. With thanks to Pravda Studios
and Too Pure Records.]
