WORKSHOP:
- Today we were recording sounds in our class room using contact microphones and hydrophones. These both captures effects more so than a normal mic would. For example the hydrophone is a microphone designed to be used underwater for recording or listening to underwater sound. Whereas the contact mic is a form of microphone that senses audio vibrations through contact with solid objects. Unlike normal air microphones, contact microphones are almost completely insensitive to air vibrations but transduce only structure-borne sound. Often used as acoustic leakage probes, they also enjoy wide usage by noise music artists experimenting with sound. Contact microphones based on piezo materials are passive and high-impedance, which can make them sound 'tinny' without a matching preamp. (From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_microphone). We attached the contact mic to a telephone, speaker, projector and mobile phone which all created strange buzzing noises which could be interesting for a horror or thriller.
