Harvest

Wouldn't it be wonderful to cruise the beautiful Swedish landscape, stop for a while to stretch your legs and then hear the screeching sound of Harvest, combined with the surreal image of a well dressed church choir playing the soil like it's a record.

Harvest is a performance "for terrafon, traditional music ensemble and cropland", created by the people behind Bacterial Orchestra, Olle Cornéer and Martin Lübcke. Only this time there are no electronics involved, only old iron, the soil of Uppland and human power. We listen to what the earth has to say.

Olle Cornéer sent me an email to tell me there actually are electronics involved. Namely a loudspeaker and amplifier in the cone. The signal is even running through a computer for some eq as well as recording the direct signal. Thank you Olle!

This is great!

Sounds cool. But was it recorded with anything but the camera mic?

Edwin: as I just wrote in the update, there actually is a computer on board which records the direct signal.
