Key Features
Perceiving the invisible electromagnetic landscape - unintentionally created by humans - ETHER allows you to record with an external device. Or just listen. The organic sounds of the electromagnetic topography are yours to enjoy however you want. Just tune in.
Product Ref: 135267
Operating as a kind of anti-radio, ETHER allows you to take a listen to the universe of electromagnetic waves that surrounds you. These impulses run through our cities on unseen rivulets of energy. They surround us and can be picked up by ETHER, whether for recording or just for sheer enjoyment and curiosity.
This pocket-sized tool can be used reproduce these frequencies uncoloured by a typical radio's signal cleansing circuits. Artefacts and all. ETHER is simple, it features a headphone out, volume control and an on/off switch, but the world with which it helps you integrate is complex. We are surrounded by these waves and now you can record them, using them to add interest and flavour to your audio work. Whether you work in film, tv, games, or are a musician, the sound design capabilities are huge - seemingly infinite.
The Ether is built from both magnetic and electric components which allow it to sense the radiation around us. For maximum sensitivity, hold ETHER towards your source on its axis. As you change the position of ETHER around your source, the sound meanders and you will hear different iterations and subtleties of the same frequencies. You can directly touch any conductive material to pick up waves. This includes your body. It uses these conductors as a big antenna allowing you to hear things you wouldn't hear otherwise. As well as this, ETHER's simplicity lends itself to long battery life. Whilst it is not officially measured, there are reports of it lasting up to 300 hours before a change is required.
Through ETHER, a new form of field recording arises. One that tunes into an unintentional and beautiful world.
