Max Branigan | Miss You Lady Bug | Max Branigan | 2013 | WAV | Upon hearing about the call for songs I hopped in the car and tried to record some big bug sounds in the south orange reservation, not that far from Jersey City. Sadly, all I could really find was an absence of noise, most of the lil guys are dead near me. So I recorded my attempts to hear them and subsequent failure to do so. During the process I was moved by all the cicadas squashed on the road, so I went back home and recorded this love song from one deceased cicada to another. I sing about pharaoh in it because I heard on some radio show that one species of cicada makes a distinctive "pharrrraooooh" sound. | 1:02:35 (Pop-up) | ||||

Heather McIntosh and bugs | Taiwanese Bug Party with Bass | Heather McIntosh | 2013 | WAV | I recently went to China and Taiwan with a band called Azure Ray and had the chance to ride around on scooters from Hualien through the Taroko National Park. Wow. Fun. I try to bring my trusty field recorder on most of my trips. These are some bug friends I recorded while we were on our adventure. These little guys were making such a racket, I knew I was going to want to do something with them. I decided to add a little bass to the bugs | 1:06:50 (Pop-up) | ||||

Henry Lowengard | Cicada's Truth | Henry Lowengard | 2013 | WAV | I more of less forgot about your call for cicadas until I was surrounded by them this afternoon in Sojourner Truth Park in my hometown, Kingston NY. Since I'm big on spectral music, I took the sample I recorded and ran it through Spear, cleaned it out, and started pulling the top, broad band of noise down (at about 5200Hz+/-1750Hz) and leaving the lower band (1350Hz+/-350Hz) alone and then I stretched and thinned it out, and added a few hand drawn partials. Then I turned it into stereo and eq'ed the channels with different curves. A peek at the spectrum shows how I cleaned up the sound in Spear and pulled and slimmed the top band (which I have a hard time hearing, but I know it's there), and pulled out the bottom band. I was going to do something with the slow pulses of wideband high frequency noise, but maybe some other time. | 1:27:28 (Pop-up) | ||||

Now enjoying some local candy. Flavours: tar, birch sugar and licorice that's been "left to boil overnight". Yum.

Since the restaurant closed downstairs, they left some buckets that have become breeding grounds for mosquitos. I need to enlist my neighbor to help me go down the fire escape so I can turn over the buckets, and lower the ladder so I can get back up.

DCE: Ants don't like chalky or powdery stuff - they have to go around it - which likely doesn't help much...
- I gather (??) there are three main species of cicada - each w/ a different noise.
