MICRO-LISTENING
a microphone building workshop
conducted by isaw’s
resident artist DAVID DUNN
micro-listening
The Micro-Listening Project is an art/science strategy
for increasing the monitoring of our environment
through sound. It hopes to provide new inexpensive
technologies that can facilitate an increase in our
collective environmental sensitivity and discovery
of unknown natural and human-made phenomena,
provide novel tools for sound artists, and contribute
towards practical environmental problem solving.
The project focuses upon the design of inexpensive
but highly effective audio transducer systems for
bioacoustic and sound art monitoring of otherwise
hidden aspects of our auditory environment that are
not audible through use of conventional microphones.
In addition to these technological advancements for
listening, the project seeks to document a wide diversity
of such sound worlds for both demonstration of the
transducers and general aesthetic revelation of our
acoustic environment. Precise instructions on how to
use and construct these devices will be part of this
workshop. The devices are designed to allow as wide
a distribution of their use as possible by both amateurs
and professionals.
