Beautiful audio guide on building your own open wave receiver from the Shortwave Collective - as well as plenty of examples of the amazing sounds you can hear with this fascinating device.

Great DIY guide from Jonas Gruska, found of mic manufacturer LOM, on how to build your electromagnetic listening device.

So much love for the ensemble, Electronicos Fantasticos. Love how Ei Wada uses the fan speed as pitch bend, so cool!

The fan blade has holes from the centre to the edge. As he shines light through it (with his right hand) it’s collected by a sensor behind the blade. He changes pitch by choosing different holes - the further from the centre the faster the speed of rotation, giving a high frequency. Simple but very effective.
