Sound Modulated Light is an environment of light and sound wherein sound is not present acoustically, but is carried by light. The space consists of a design of multiple lights. Each light bulb has its own soundtrack assigned to it. The sound is modulated on top of the light by means of intensity modulation. Low audio frequencies result in a visible flickering of the lights. Higher audio frequencies result in a flickering that is too fast to be perceived by our eyes.

An introduction video to Christina Kubisch's "Electrical Walks" series of works. Electromagnetic radiations can be directly translated into the acoustic domain with the help of Christina Kubisch's custom made special headphones. Awesome sounds can be heard with the headphones everywhere near any electrical or electronical device or installation, particularly in the cities, where there density is growing daily. The "Electrical Walks" let everyone explore these hidden acoustic/electromagnetic world in various cities all over the world.

Just came across this amazing image, and subsequent experiment, from Forest Mims. In the article he describes the work of Alexander Bell's attempts to transmit the voice over light.

Theres a really simple experiment at the end using a plastic cup, plastic foil, solar panel and small amplifier, which i'm really keen to share with some of the youth music groups I work with.

Beautiful audio guide on building your own open wave receiver from the Shortwave Collective - as well as plenty of examples of the amazing sounds you can hear with this fascinating device.

Great DIY guide from Jonas Gruska, found of mic manufacturer LOM, on how to build your electromagnetic listening device.

So much love for the ensemble, Electronicos Fantasticos. Love how Ei Wada uses the fan speed as pitch bend, so cool!

The fan blade has holes from the centre to the edge. As he shines light through it (with his right hand) it’s collected by a sensor behind the blade. He changes pitch by choosing different holes - the further from the centre the faster the speed of rotation, giving a high frequency. Simple but very effective.
