His studies in the rhythms of human systems have led him into &#8222;entanglements with the nonhuman world,&#8220; via self-devised technologies. &#8222;I&#8217;m trying to communicate sounds that are all around us, but which we cannot ordinarily hear &#8211; sounds equally geophysical, anthropogenic, and, on some level, disturbing in the sense that they may shift our worldview.&#8220; Inspired by Roger Payne&#8217;s Songs of the Humpback Whale recordings which transformed how we view animals and conservation, Brian is going for something similarly appropriate to climate change with his new album, Everyday \/nfrasound in an Uncertain World, and an accompanying art installation. &#8222;It&#8217;s more or less a straight 24-hour recording sped up by a factor of 60,&#8220; which becomes 24 minutes, 12 minutes each side, with its pitch raised 6 octaves in order to hear super low sounds. &#8222;My project is about atmospheric infrasound, low-frequency sounds traveling through the air, such as storms, gas flares, meteors, wind over the ocean, glaciers cracking, wildfires, etc.&#8220; In order to do this accurately, House developed &#8222;macrophones,&#8220; rather than microphones, to go beyond the norms of the &#8222;field recording&#8220; genre for something more deafeningly epic. &#8222;Macrophones are my design, but they&#8217;re based on infrasound arrays used by the [Comprehensive] Nuclear Test Ban Treaty Organization to monitor for nuclear testing,&#8220; he notes. &#8222;Microphones let us hear small sounds. Macrophones enable us to hear big ones &#8230; When I listened to the results, hearing all this crazy shit, I&#8217;m realizing that what I&#8217;m hearing are the sounds of climate change. &#8222;I&#8217;m not sure about calling it &#8218;music&#8216; as it&#8217;s not a composition or something.
