being one half of the psychoacoustic soundclash, we had endless fun at a
festival here in sheffield about five years ago. we use a lot of military
surplus electronics (think morse keys, not piano keys) - i think i spent the
entire gig sweeping between about 1Mhz down to 20k or so and back again, not
a huge disturbance from our canine friends, but just enough to make it worth
while
meanwhile (at the other end of the spectrum - heh) at a show at the National
Centre For Popular Music earlier this year, we discovered the resonant
frequency of the bar was around 13Hz - oh joy...

Aren't the beatles supposed to have tarted around with ultrasound on "Sgt
Peppers.." ? anyway, it keeps us industrial types quiet by deluding us into
thinking we're doing something experimental or something...
