EARTH'S ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD AND ELECTRONIC MUSIC | Workshop by Patricia Usero i Diego de León
The Earth's electromagnetic field is a region that surrounds the Earth formed by the lines of force generated by the interaction between the planet's magnetic and electric fields. It protects the Earth from solar radiation and allows for the maintenance of an atmosphere suitable for life. It is generated from the Earth's outer core electrical dynamo, composed of conducting materials in constant motion due to the planet's rotation. Its functioning is crucial for protecting the Earth against charged particles from the solar wind, deflecting them and producing the auroras borealis and australis.
In this workshop, we will explore the relationship between the Earth's electromagnetism and electronic music through the construction of devices such as coils, antennas, and galena radio. We will conduct practical experiments to capture the frequencies of electromagnetic fields and convert them into audible sound signals, allowing us to experiment with the generation of sounds from electromagnetic phenomena.
Workshop taught by Diego de Leon co-founder Befacosynth and Patricia Usero aka Puntalaberinto sound artist.
