Artist Brian House has created an album called "Everyday Infrasound in an Uncertain World" that captures the imperceptible noises of nature, like the rumble of a wildfire or the roar of a storm, at frequencies below the threshold of human hearing. House uses specialized tools to pick up these infrasounds and translate them into pulsing music, offering a unique perspective on ambient music. Scientists have helped House in setting up his music-gathering array, highlighting the intriguing phenomena of these distant, low-frequency sounds. The resulting music is a 24-minute otherworldly chorus that alternates between grumbling vibrations and ghostlike whispers, connecting listeners to a wider and deeper world.

In a blind test, audiophiles couldn't tell the difference between audio signals sent through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud — 'The mud should sound perfectly awful, but it doesn't,' notes the experiment creator

A blind test conducted by a moderator on diyAudio revealed that listeners struggled to differentiate between audio signals transmitted through copper wire, a banana, or wet mud. Results showed that participants could not reliably identify which wiring setup was used for the audio tracks. The experiment aimed to test whether materials like bananas and mud, despite being poor conductors, could introduce noticeable changes to the audio signal. The findings suggested that listeners could not detect any significant alterations introduced by different materials, highlighting the surprising similarity in sound quality across various unconventional conductors.

MindsEye's sabotage mission is being slammed as dull and pointless

MindsEye's sabotage mission is being slammed as dull and pointless

Build A Rocket Boy accuses individuals of sabotaging MindsEye's launch, spending over €1 million on damaging efforts. The studio integrates the controversy into a new in-game mission, Blacklist, to showcase evidence of sabotage to players. However, reports describe the mission as lackluster and failing to deliver a compelling narrative. Critics attribute the launch issues to internal problems, such as management and design decisions, casting doubt on the sabotage claims. The saga continues as MindsEye's post-launch turmoil unfolds.
