Through The Portal

This is an 8:14 excerpt from the 37 minute film titled, Through The Portal, 2015. The sound track for this film was captured by, and is unique to, the EAR1 Instruments (sculpture) at each location. An alternate soundscape may be perceived in this composition. The opening sound as heard from inside the Command Module is a composition captured by the EAR1 at The Jornada LTER. The sound is that of a Dust Devil passing close by the rover on an open playa in the northern Chihuahua desert. It is captured by one of the contact microphones attached to the piano soundboard. (known as the Main String-Field Sensor, or MSFS) See diagram for the EAR1 Rover listening devises here for more information:  https://brackmorrow.org/2013/01/
