sonic research project by florian tuercke

urban audio - sonic research is an audio-experimental project woking with the urban acoustic space.
the research is done by using a special device (audio-unit). AU3 (audio unit 3) contains: resonator-plate, a piano string (frequence: 190 Hz), electromagnetic picup and amplification.
By AU3 the sonic urban noise is transformed into harmonical sounds.
AU3 was set up in 9 different places in Budapest. the urban noise, mainly coming from the sound of the traffic (cars, tram, metro) was transformed and recorded.

Exercises in internal and external communication on Artemovsk 38

Step 1: Communicators stand along the railings of the upper deck.
Every person should be in a visible distance to the next.
The first at the front, the last at the back of the ship.

Step 2: First communicator starts to whistle pointing in direction of
the next. This one has to pay attention in order to receive the
message clearly!

Step 3: The message has to be passed on to the next person until
it reaches the back of the ship. If necessary the message
can be transmitted to other ships.

Wave:

Step 1: Communicators stand along the railings of the upper deck.
Every single person should be in visible distance to the next.
The first one at the front, the last at the back of the ship.

Step 2: First communicator decides which message has to be send
and gives signal to the others.

Step 3: By repeating the signal of the first one, communicators pass
the message on to other ships.

The (r)emegration of a bumblebee society consisting of 60 female workers and one queen living in their hive.

The Bombus terrestris (in common speech the Deutsche Erdhummel) is originally a species of the central european region, especially the german territory. Those insects, comming from german breeders, where migrated from Nurnberg (Germany) to Budapest (Hungary).

Even though the bumblebees left their old territory in the forrests of Nurnberg and occupied new territorry in a parkway in Budapest, the original dwelling was taken along.

The speach-flow ratio of the river Danube is changing relatively to the measuring points. As a whole river, the ratios throughout Europe are:

36% Donau (Germany)
18% Donau (Austria)
1% Dunaj (Slovakia)
14% Duna (Hungary)
<1% Dunav (Croatia)
12% Dunav (Serbia)
18% Dunărea (Romania)
<1% Dunav (Bulgaria)
<1% Dunărea (Moldavia)
<1% Dunay (Ukrainia)

The Danube is the only big european river flowing from West to East, collecting a variety of different languages and cultures, transporting them throughout the countries and mixing them together again.

loosing contact - leaving the ship on thin ropes - underneath the strong Danube - toxic water.
