A Study into 21st Century Drone Acoustics [Vinyl]

《A Study into 21st Century Drone Acoustics》黑膠 A 面收集了 17 種無人飛機飛行時的聲音，從消費型到大型的軍用飛機，就像是現代鳥類的匯集；B 面由 Discrepant 廠牌主理人 Goncalo F Cardoso 編輯成音景，靈感來自濫用、破壞以及無人機技術。

Much attention is focused on drones as "eyes in the sky". However for people on the ground, the sound of the drones is much more pervasive. Military drones fly at high altitudes and are more often heard than seen. The word drone itself is rooted in sound, referring to the noise of the male honeybee. The sound of drones in areas of conflict create frightening soundscapes that go on for many hours on end. The sound gives them nicknames like Zanana (buzz) in Palestine.

In this project, designer Ruben Pater (Drone Survival Guide) and composer Gonçalo F. Cardoso (Discrepant) join hands to focus on the auditive aspects of drones. What engines do drones have, and what do they sound like? Side A features recordings of 17 drone types, ranging from small consumer drones to large military drones, as contemporary bird songs. The B side presents a soundscape by Gonçalo F. Cardoso, inspired by the abusive and destructive power or drone technology. The composition focus on the conceptual (sound) life and death of an aerial drone machine in the 21st century.
