.MOBI Oxygen (in progress ) cellphone-gathered project destinations: mini weblackwhole & "listenin' to the world" W2 tri-annuals

A- Together with a friend, when-you both-are-availabe-and-can-do-any of the projects below, to contribute indivparts of varied Earth's soundtracks? They require at least two people, on the Globe, to use their own cellphones, computers with sound processsing software, hardrive and access to a battery operated wwv or gmt or utc or gps radio.

Since radio signals can cross multiple time zones and the international date line, some worldwide standard for time and date is needed. This standard is coordinated universal time, abbreviated UTC. This was formerly known as Greenwich mean time (GMT). Other terms used to refer to it include "Zulu time" (after the "Z" often used after UTC times), "universal time," and "world time." UTC, GMT, GPS time?

B-current cellphone uses , neighborhood to neighborhood & some cellphone/MOBI projects

C-intro/practice/testing 1 2 3; contribute, come/go; return ((its gotta get refined, shortcutted, etc.)) For every session, begin your cellphone transmission by saying your personal ID, date & day, Latitude & Longitude. Holding a receiver near the mic, include the voiced time (wwv, utc, gmt) and include the tone. (send your sound) Working with a friend who receives from your cellphone node, have the computer person name and saveas to HD.

walking; returning for more ((w/suggestions}} If you continue - from the ground up- getting this earcleaning w-LOFI-sound-monitorings and want to construct more "tracks" to work w/in your software (e.g.,free Audacity), repeat para. two exactly for x times. Extra eartraining? Repeat para. two and include random a/or consecutive days with 5-10 mile (Lat a/orLong) seperations-(whatever; repeats should all be exact). Extra, extra? Your x track syncs should resemble these.((see lines 4,5; "5-GMT& autosync")) {{ If you get to improvising- (that's the point if you're into it)- and wind up w/tracks not synced and run out of HD space? This immediately bobs to the top exactly where is all this heading? Forget recording. Gotta go twowayrealtime. }}

Submit your cluster(s) and where is your URL? You took a peek at para.1 above and if you have decided let Global know which are soundtracks you plan working on. Anything else while here? ( needs, wants, gives & takes, ask for missing cluster )). Here's where Global's archive is finally parked.

Q. I've discovered (the hard way) that GPS time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) are not the same. Why? -V.A. Fall River, Wis.

A. Ayers: GPS time is different than GMT because GMT is continuously adjusted for Earth rotation and translation charges with respect to the sun and other celestial reference bodies. The GPS time is not adjusted for celestial phenomena since it is based on the behavior of atomic clocks monitoring the satellite system.
The two time systems are very precise internally although they are not related to the same reference frame. Difference between the two time systems is likely to change over time although their relationship between each other is monitored regularly and precisely.

Lange: Universal Coordinated Time (UTC - the abbreviation by scientific convention comes from its French initials) is the worldwide business and scientific time standard. UTC replaces the name Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) which is no longer used in scientific literature. UTC is based on the Earth's rotation and is not uniform. The rotational period of the Earth is slowing down because of the tidal interactions between the Earth and moon. GPS time, on the other hand, is based on atomic clocks and is perfectly uniform. This difference in the definition of UTC and GPS time has resulted in a small discrepancy that has accumulated since the GPS time was started. The difference between UTC and GPS time will continue to grow about 1 second per year, depending on irregularities in the rotational period of the Earth. One of the data messages sent by the GPS satellites is the offset between GPS and UTC, allowing GPS receivers to display UTC time.

UTC tones for these mono* are not lined up... not synced...mixdown, realign these: plug computer output to input...savingas the 4 as 2 (or 1 since these should ideally be mono)...if your final goal in for X #...do the same thing where the net result is the FINAL number of mixed tracks you want...(((do and learn; however, the quieter your indiv backgrounds are the happier you MAY BE...this ear cleaning LOFI thing is supposed to get you back on groundfloor level and you growingup with informed sounding expectations...'cause the sound sources referred to are perpetual...if you miss something in 07, you can pick up later having evolved becoming more receptive in 0?...blogcont.

 

*accumulating these tracks from economical monos lets your understanding grow to the point where you finally being a node where, having become familiar in future you'll be in good practice for handing out your traffic in realtime--which reamins the goal after picking up yourself off terafirma. Using mono tracks? #2, keeps the background noise (per session) down. This is especially true when the workshop covers this headstart technique. Here's a suggestion (done in free Audacity; you may/maynot like FFTfilter under EFFECT pulldown))

cellphone/parabola?

In any mix-down where you're approaching an acceptable-sounding, you should be able to recognize several spatial sensations occurring in your earphones. ( I'm a headphone user. If it sounds good in my headspace- it must be so.) Maybe you like monitoring speakers. Whatever it takes to allow you to better understand what it sounds like? and what did you do to get it the way you want it to sound? # 2. try a + or - minute movement (copy and past a granule or two) at a pre-tome position by adding a zillionth of a second to a track. #3, experiment with all the listed filter options--including NOISE removeable-- after you have highlighted a sound section in question. Let yourself be seduced but don't be suckered away from having just an entertain only to loose your sound food and importantly your concepts.

generational streaming of recontextualizing sound

The ephemeral, listening and seeing sound's imagery as a perpetual generational process is sought from realtime combinations conjoining terrestrial and extraterrestrial phenomena; global inputs for listeners and participants who would monitor these resources and offer them to create a unique and temporally constructed experiential whole. These stitching phenomena projects seek to attach to the consciousness of people in a way not unlike the embedding of childhood sounds in long-term memory. Revisited sounds reinvigorate the present. The melding of natural energies is a satisfying human experience. The temporality inherent in these projects relies on the voltages from physical nature's realtime processes to offer this inclusive connection. An undeniably personal possession.
