Listen to Earth’s rumbling, secret soundtrack

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.
