Sound Bombing


I just thought these little spheres would be of interest to those that read this blog, although I do have a vague recollection of mentioning them to some before. Anyway the concept is simple a small motion sensor and speaker system that play out a prerecorded piece of audio, the possibilities as they say are endless, a walkway of audio, or even possibly a low tech guerrilla advertising method, you have a radio show to plug? Why not drop one of these babies outside a local club, bar or record shop and advertise to all who enter or pass by. So a sound bomb it is.

I also love the fact that you have to apply to get one, it's not just as simple as just buying them. I'm tempted to add one to my Budda Machine as part of my soul lo-fi audio gadgets.


If you want something to add to your calendar why not consider going to World Headquarters on Thursday, November 22nd. Why? Tayo is playing Deviate.

It's better than a cold October morning!

It's been too long, and I say that too often.

I'm gutted to say I had to skip the last heavyweight, and to be honest my attendence at heavyweight is truly shambolic, if it was school my teacher would be writing to my parents by now. I will say now that I will be at the next heavyweight.


So that's Saturday 10th November, starting at 7pm. Should be a good one!

Also looking good is James Holden at the Cosmic Ballroom, for Habit. That one is Friday 2nd, and I'm tempted to pop down for that one.

In the meantime if you want some audio delicacy and fancy something grimey then may I suggest the Lower End Spasm's (Dot-Alt) contribution to the Blogariddim series.

Or if you fancy a mash up then I'm quite liking this one by DJ C. If you want more go visit mashit. In case you're wondering that is a remix of sorts of Ghislain Poirier's new single Blazin' on Ninja Tune.
