Listen to St Helens

[igorsboss]

When Mt. St. Helens came to life, I decided that I would like to hear what it sounded like. I wrote a program to convert seismograms to .WAV files, so I could hear them. Now it is time to share some of my results. Since I can't post this big audio file here, I'll just ask you to visit my home page instead.<br /><br />Just visit http://home.comcast.net/~igorsboss and click the link to hear the mountain.<br /><br />This data is played back so that 1 hour of real time recording plays back in just 30 seconds.<br /><br />Also, you might want to see the webicorder at http://www.geophys.washington.edu/SEIS/PNSN/WEBICORDER/GREEN/JUN_EHZ_UW.2004110500.html

Wow. Sounds like an African tribal dance. It's got a pretty regular beat to it.

 

[igorsboss]

Yeah, and when the drums stop, watch out!

That is cool, I could actually fall asleep listening to that. You could release it on CD as "Volcano Heartbeat".

I'm thinking of using it as the basis for a musical composition!

I posted an update to my web site.<br /><br />The audification of today's activity (11/15/04) includes a completely different sound. It sounds like sandpaper. I think it is a harmonic tremor.<br /><br />Just visit http://home.comcast.net/~igorsboss and click the "Listen" link to hear the mountain. <br />
