Hi,
I was contacted by multi-meidum artist David Prochaska, who as you will
see below, is looking for "bug sounds" to use in an upcoming installation
that will be up for some eight months. They will accompany a series of
topical sculpture along a wall I believe. The images he sent show modified
cans of insecticide distored to be more biomorphic, and with insect images
covering the original logos.
I suspect there is no budget to *rent* sounds, but I think David would be
happy to give credit for the recordings used, and eight months might offer
a lot of exposure.
Anyone willing to lend some sound should contact David directly at:

best regards,

Hi Aaron
Thank you for the reply, and for your assistance.
As I discussed in my note, I have a series of paintings that once
contained a series of alarms that replicate the vibrations of a field of
crickets. The paintings are on insect repellent cans and display an image
of different insect forms.
The space [I will be exhibiting the works in] feels the [original] alarms
may be to alarming for the casual visitor, so, I am looking for as many
insect recordings as I can get my hands on. I will be recording these to 3
disks that will loop the mix of insect vibrations to a series of small
speakers on the back of the cans.
If you could send a word out on the Nature Recordists' mailing lists, I
would be very interested in seeing what that might turn up!
The name of the exhibition is, "Bug-Eyed - Art, Culture, Insects." This
will be the only sound inclusion... so, I hope to fill there ears as well
as there eyes with the beauty of insects. The exhibition will be up for 8
months so, I hope this will leave many visitors feeling a little
"Bug-Eared" when they leave the space.
I do have a deadline of the 30th of JUNE to get everything in working
order, so again, anything you could contribute, (without to much time and
effort on your part), would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again Aaron!
david
