Sound Course: Audible Constructs,(networking annoncement, article, syllabus) 1970-72syllabus Audible Constructs poster

Here these roof configurations, as depicted in the r. drawing, employ galvanized steel strands, windmonitors and windslicers which serve as combined triangular and rectalinear sensing planes. As sounding inputs, all arrays intercept blustery winds from Lake Michigan. These meandered, often times rebounded from nearby Loop buildings, served as sound sources to the Arp synthesizer, student ears and cassette/reel-to-reel recordings, and input for Greedy Suckers band responses.

Leif Brush (r) on SAIC roof with Tom Pritchard and shows the East-West strandage details of the main monitoring wind plane installation: Hexagram. 16,18 & 20 gauge steel strands were used togethers with a combination of crystal, magnetic transducers. Giving the Chicago weather forecast for sailing on nearby Lake Michigan. Pictured: that first 22 gauge wire you see was literally in LB's mouth as these wires were all sensitive as any ribbon microphone 2! Overall the sound resulting was as if you were in a blackwhole, where there are no acoustic walls. The spatial sounding results were deeply moving when listened to via these headphones. Tom talked along with LB but he was not close enought to the wires for me to hear him.. Interestingly, an airplanes higher pitch overhead was audible in the 'phones as were flys buzzing across across and direct hits by other insects impacting these strands. return to data poetry same as 2007

Multi-colored laser sky drawing concepts were executed in this lithograph where the spelling of nasturtium on low cloud bottoms was to be combined and interspersed with repetitive bursts of laser beams.

Giant IVORIES on the Chicago River carried the Greedy Suckers band- who made themselves available to Audible Constructs class students. The G S FM radio transmitters broadcast ARP synth,w/their sound to radios lining the shore walkways (of the sometimes dirtied Chicago River).

BARBARA CRANE "Chicago Loop" silver print, 1976

Eventually scheduled to arrive near the North Pole, a pneumatic hexagram hovers over the Chicago Loop recording layers of ambient sounds during early morning before rush hour. Mayor Richard J. Daley 1 complains to SAIC Dean Roger Gilmore: "...it was just too darn close to the Bertrand Goldberg Towers (below in upper left image and in Barbara Crane's right photograph)." IVORY soap pollution is minimal and eventually reaches Lake Michigan & most other P&G products are not as "pure"
