"Naturally High voltage"
Fencing: Contact mics constructed from Piezo Disc Transducer Contact Microphone and ¼” insert jacks. The Piezo is protected with felt stick-on furniture moving discs wrapped in electrical tape. There were fastened to fencing using simple plastic grips and connected to a battery powered Realistic 4 Channel Stereo Microphone Mixer which was hard mixed to my Tascam DR40 Handheld Digital Recorder as two tracks. No effects were used before or after producing the sounds made by either plucking, hitting or scraping either with a cow bell or a small metal rod to the various fencing. These can be heard throughout “Naturally High Voltage.” Fencing recorded in Elizabethtown at the Rim Rock Dogwood Cabins farmstead located in Southern Illinois within the Shawnee National Forest.
Rain percussion: Similarly these contact mics were fastened to aged cymbals, metal flashing, and a record player plate also all connected to the microphone mixer and hard mixed to the as two tracks to the DR40. Sounds were made by rain drops during a summer storms. As before no effects were used before or after producing the sounds. These can also heard throughout “Naturally High voltage.” Drops recorded in my backyard in Collinsville Il. Other sounds on “Naturally High voltage” are field recordings (storm, crow, walking around) from southern Illinois and Missouri recorded with a Tascam DR40 or with a Califone CAS1500 Cassette Recorder. Instrumentation: borrowed Moog and cello, a Bradley Telcom Jitter and Hit Synth Model 2A, burning oak twigs, two Tibetan Prayer Wheels and cowbell.
"The Jealous puddle"
This track was recorded mostly with field recordings with the Tascam DR40 which were (unlike in Naturally High Voltage) tracked down to a Tascam Portastudio 424 cassette 4-Track. Field recordings were from pacific ocean in northern Oregon (along with a coast guard duo propelled helicopter that sound bombed the recording). Sweeping sounds by myself and my friend Angela after a flood. The geese sounds came from a waste water treatment plant where my guess was how they were keeping warm in January 2023. My friend Chris Buban and his dad scared them to launch into the air and make a bunch of honking sounds. Starlings sounds from the birds resting and “talking” in a tree from southern Il. Insect sounds from a patch of woods in southern Il during the solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 which one can vaguely hear day time sounds to night time sounds in a short amount of time. Also during that recording, which was a very hot day was my dog Gaia panting. Creek sounds from southern Missouri. Highway sounds in St. Louis, MO. Instrumentation recorded direct to cassette 4 track: novelty wood flutes and grunts etc with delay (only effect used here), metal cryogenic Dewar flasks, fresh water clam shells, cast iron skillets, and rocks. Also used a petri dish spinner with a fossil on top where I spun it around and around with a Piezo mic rubbing gently against it. Electronics: borrowed moog, Casio CZ1000 and Telcom Jitter and Hit Synth. At the end one can hear my brother in law Scott sound bombing “I Am Bigfoot” with my nephew laughing about it.
