Conversations between whales in the oceans, the low throb of ship engines, bursts of vibrations excited by earthquakes…we cannot hear these vibrations as sounds, the human ear is not able to, but what if we could? What if we could make the sounds of the Earth audible?
‘Earth Traces’ is an art-science collaboration between artist and composer David Stalling and Cambridge seismologist Sergei Lebedev. Using a novel method, it translates waveform information contained within seismic data traces into spatial surround sound, revealing the hidden sounds of the Earth.
