> 'Elementary Particles' - Gintas K
>
> Every age has it's own instruments and instruments have their own timbres. 
> A computer has become the main instrument in our time; sine waves and 
> white noise - it's generated and most frequently used timbres.
>
> I created this podcast by using 5 components and their symbolic meanings: 
> 145 Hz and 235 Hz sine waves which are basic frequencies of male and 
> female speech - harmony; white noise - disharmony; 80 Hz sine wave which 
> sometimes goes below the scale of human hearing - hell; 10 KHz sine wave 
> which goes above the scale of human hearing - heaven. 80 Hz and 10 KHz 
> reveal musical infinity and human limitation and, in some way, human 
> possibility to create infinity from his limitations.
>
> The work consists of intro, outro, and four parts, that symbolize earth 
> and the order of mankind. Rhythm as a driving force of living is a key 
> element in all parts. Does this concept mean that I'm trying to create the 
> universe of spheres? - No. Does it mean that conception is more important 
> than music? For sure - not. Does it mean that music is above everything? - 
> But music in these times doesn't exist ... there is only sound art.

> Podcasting is the broadcast medium of the masses. It is possible for 
> anyone to make and publish a podcast about anything they please and to 
> access a global audience with the click of a mouse. Throughout February 
> 2007 folly, in partnership with SoundNetwork, is publishing a series of 
> specially commissioned podcasts that explore the possibilties of the 
> medium for artists and the distribution of their work in sound. Anyone can 
> subscribe to the series and with each download (1 every week in February) 
> the listener will add a new piece of art to their digital collection.
>
> This series not only explores the practical delivery of sound art on the 
> internet, but also the very nature of communication through broadcasting; 
> from the transmissions of a cosmonaut beyond our own atmosphere, to 
> communicating ideas about spirituality through frequency, and through 
> inviting sounds from our computers to occupy our environment as a backdrop 
> to our own lives.
