First, I apologize that this isn't directly nature recording related, and s=
econd I apologize that this is several years old and may not be new to you.=


Reading Bernie Kraus's excellent Wild Soundscapes (which I was lucky enough=
 to find at my local library), he talks about how at one point music was he=
retical in some places. It reminded me of a fascinating story regarding a h=
idden "code" at Rosslyn Chapel which, according to some, was depicted using=
 Chladni patterns.

There's a good write-up of it here: http://www.slate.com/articles/life/the_=
rosslyn_code/2011/05/the_rosslyn_code_5.html

You can also search the web for Rosslyn and you'll find lots of additional =
details. Hopefully some of you will find it interesting, and I hope it isn'=
t too off topic.
