Within Earreach: Sonic Journeys

Recorded mostly from hand built microphones in Australia, Newfoundland (Canada), Hong Kong (China), Bali (Indonesia), Argentina & Jerusalem (Israel). From the liner notes: "In 1984, when I began these pieces, the working title was audio transducer series pieces. The pieces have been recorded either at site-specific sound installations or as soundscapes. I envisioned an open-ended series of sonic explorations which was to be recorded mostly using self-built microphones and transducers. I reasoned that if the human experience of hearing was based on vibrations striking the surface of the ear drum, then we might also experience sound as perceived/recorded through other ear drums. And, since all objects and materials anywhere are vibrated by sound, one could hear the sound coaxed from these Rother ear-drums by creative and investigative recording techniques." © ℗ 1994 Richard Lerman
