Brian Snead briansnead@gmail.com no Brian Snead Special: The Brian Dunning Interview An interview with Brian Dunning, the creator and host of the Skeptoid podcast. This podcast, which answers all manners of pseudoscience and cultural myth with scientific reality, has a weekly audience of over 80,000 listeners and is a TOP 5 science podcast on iTunes. In this version of the interview, you’ll hear a bit about Skeptoid and his presentation entitled, Sounds from Beyond, which he describes as “weird recordings and sounds from all areas of the paranormal.” no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/brian-dunning-interview-v1.mp3?ref=rss Sat, 26 Sep 2009 17:40:00 GMT 00:18:21 Brian Dunning, skepticism, sonic literacy, paranormal, psuedoscience Brian Snead Schuhkistenaufnahmen aus Berlin Waehrend eines Aufenthalts bei der Grossmutter meiner Frau schaute man sich bei Kaffee und Kuchen alte Bilder aus einer Schuhkiste an. Und da kam mir die Idee: Aufnahmen aus der Schuhkiste als Audioversion. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/schukistenaufnahmen-aus-berlin.mp3?ref=rss Sat, 22 Aug 2009 20:16:00 GMT 00:14:19 Brian Snead Special #2: Shoebox Shots from Berlin Shoebox Shots from Berlin is all about everyday sounds from a Christmas vacation spent in Berlin. While hanging out at my wife’s grandmother’s place over cake and coffee, out came a shoebox filled with piles of old snapshots. That’s it, I thought, why not do the same thing with audio? And here we are. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/shoebox-berlin-english-final.mp3?ref=rss Thu, 06 Aug 2009 21:02:00 GMT 00:13:54 soundscape, berlin, murray schafer, recording, hypermediacy, germany Brian Snead Sonic Weapons Spoiler warning: I have almost nothing positive to report on sonic weaponry. Whatever goes by that name is both over-hyped and ineffective. But in this is a disconcerting catch. Even if sonic weapons aren’t strong enough to tear people’s guts apart in combat, they are capable of causing serious damage to the ears and psyche. Labeled ‘Non-Lethal Weapons,’ these devices are most effectively used to harass private citizens, protesters and to aid in the torture of prisoners. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/sonic_weapons.mp3?ref=rss Mon, 06 Jul 2009 13:30:00 GMT 00:12:55 Brian Snead Hearing the Music and Listening to the Record We tend to hear recordings completely divorced from the apparatus that makes them possible, as if we weren’t listening to recordings at all, but something somehow self-contained and one-dimensionally diegetic: it’s a given that any particular recorded piece of music is nothing but that piece of music, performing itself as we perform ours. But this is what we’ve learned from an industry that was only ever concerned with obliterating our conscious awareness that recordings are in fact different from live performances. Recorded music has almost always sought to silence the medium. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/listening-to-the-record.mp3?ref=rss Fri, 08 May 2009 13:39:00 GMT 00:17:54 recording, recorded music, cassette culture, lo-fi, hi-fi, remediation, hypermediacy, immediacy, sonic literacy, Jay David Bolter, Richard Grusin, Jonathan Sterne Brian Snead Special: Dialog in the Dark After spending a good hour or so walking into walls and groping strangers at Dialog in the Dark, called “the greatest exhibit you’ll never see,” I’ve done some thinking. What must it be like to live without seeing? And why do we keep using the old dark and light metaphor? Who even knows what darkness is all about? I mean the dark really-- dark without even the glow of an alarm clock or the rogue sliver of light peeping underneath a door—dark without end, dark because light does not exist for us. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/dialog-in-the-dark2.mp3?ref=rss Sun, 15 Mar 2009 21:13:00 GMT 00:09:31 "dialog in the dark" Brian Snead Rattle and Bump: How Sound Gets Around That fleet of dump trucks that comes down your street Saturday mornings at 6, rattling your windows and spooking your dog, isn’t so much loud as it is transferring sound energy into the street, under your house and shaking everything right up to your bedroom walls, which then vibrate like so many massive speakers all around you. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/rattle-and-bump.mp3?ref=rss Fri, 27 Feb 2009 21:05:00 GMT 00:09:24 Brian Snead The Swaying Car Door The sound of a closing car door is no coincidence. It’s a carefully constructed sound intended to communicate ‘luxury,’ ‘safety,’ and ‘quality’ to the consumer. Its affect is the goal of all marketing efforts: the creation of an emotional will to purchase. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/4_the-swaying-car-door.mp3?ref=rss Wed, 21 Jan 2009 22:51:00 GMT 00:11:46 aurality, car door, car door sound, sonic literacy Brian Snead Machines That Talk to Us An introductory escapade through automated voice technology. no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/machines_talk_to_us_3.mp3?ref=rss Fri, 28 Nov 2008 17:22:33 GMT 00:15:07 Text-to-speech synthesis, self-checkout, screen reader, auditory display, sonification, narration, sound at the user interface Brian Snead A Tourist in the Soundscape An introduction to Murray Schafer's 'Soundscape.' no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/tourist-in-the-soundscape.mp3?ref=rss Thu, 23 Oct 2008 16:53:00 GMT 00:16:25 keynote, soundmark, Murray Schafer, acoustic ecology, signal, World Soundscape Project Brian Snead Introduction An introduction to Sound in the Machine no no http://media.podcastingmanager.com/8/7/6/1/4/116727-141678/Media/intro2uction.mp3?ref=rss Mon, 29 Sep 2008 14:49:00 GMT 00:04:35 sound technology podcast aurality "sonic literacy"
