Nothing here is faked, I swear to God, and turn your speakers up before you play this thing.
A couple of days ago I had a great time shooting hummingbird videos at cocktail hour outside the old adobe on the hillside. I did a good job, although if the Kodak Zi6
“My God, what is that?!?” I said when I first played it through. At normal speed, all I can make out is some wind noise and leaves rustling, but there are probably hummingbird chirps in there that I don’t hear. Slowed way down, however, the chirps (if that’s what they are) turn into primal jungle bird calls — and there are other unique sounds as well. Slowing everything down has to be responsible for some of the “effects” you’ll hear, but otherwise, it’s all 100% organic. Rather amazing, I think. See if it slips in between your defenses, too.
See what I mean? Wow. Turn up the volume and play it again!
UPDATE: I am informed by longtime cyber-friend Dennis Moser that what I did by “time-stretching” was create processed audio. To hear Dennis in live performance with a real-time processed guitar and guitar-drive synth using Apple’s Garage Band, just go here. Wild!

Hey thanks , Murray! Doing what I can here.
Hooray! The video shows up in my Safari 4.0.3. Great video!
That’s the latest version of Safari, right? Good!
Wow, I knew they were fiercely competitive, but I didn’t know they sounded like outraged howler monkeys when you compensate for the fact that we plod along with abysmal slowness compared to their exciting lives! Quite amazing.
OT, but I came here because I really appreciated your comments on digby’s site in response to Dennis’ “review” of “Finding Woodstock”. Very well felt and expressed.
Happy Labor Day to all!
Not OT at all!
I like Dennis well enough, but that needed to be said. I realized the historical/cultural context of my own freaking life (and those of millions of others) is usually completely left out of some observers’ jaundiced views of the Woodstock era. And yet, it’s absolutely essential for understanding what really went down.
