Maybe it’s not the best choice for a sluggish Monday afternoon, but the torpor has taken over, and I don’t want to hunt for something different just yet. Besides, right after that, alphabetically, is Brian Tyler and Klaus Badelt’s ‘Constantine’ soundtrack.

Eno’s 77 Million Paintings installation has shown up on my Involver page. Looks like a fascinating exhibition.

If only Beard Papa was not in such close proximity to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts where it’s going to be showing.

In 2000 and 2001, Biosphere created a sound installation for the Northern Lights festival at Kulturhuset along with English sound sculptor Jony Easterby.

The installation was called Fluxgate. The basic premise of the installation was that visitors were to throw snowballs at various target areas on the sculpture. The accuracy of the throws combined with current astronomical data on the aurora were then used to generate different sounds.

There’s a 20-30 minute recording of Fluxgate in action on Biosphere’s site here. Other free MP3s of his can be downloaded here. As the page states, if you enjoy the music and are feeling generous, you can donate to his paypal account (details of which are on the page).
