Place: Sonic City Festival in Melbourne, Australia
Performance One: 7:30pm; 8:15pm
Performance Two: 8:45pm; 9:30pm
Toshiya Tsunoda and Haco performed inside a tram on a round trip from the Melbourne city centre to the East Brunswick and back.
Tsunoda captures solid vibrations using a piezo-ceramic sensor and a stethoscope, and Haco uses her Stereo Bugscope (inductive microphones) system to catch electromagnetic sounds.
The first edition of work, The TramVibration recording project was presented at the View Masters Osaka-Melbourne Remix Exhibition in Osaka in 2007. “The concept is to create environmental art with normally inaudible vibrations, and the tram seems like the perfect location for the project. It’s a real audio trip for both of audience and performers to observe sounds and feel subliminal vibrations inside a moving tram.”
Testing at Yarra Trams - Southbank Depot on August 30.
The tram had a symmetrical design. ”It's interesting that the electromagnetic field was almost symmetric as well.”
