ABSTRACT The authors discuss Chronography: animal , a live electroacoustic work based on sound recordings Needham gathered in Antarctica in 2009, along with related works.

ABSTRACT The Springboard is a do-it-yourself instrument made from readily available materials: An amplified soundboard makes the vibrations of coil springs and a variety of other small and nonprecious objects audible. Thanks to a simple piezo contact microphone, the Springboard's humble constitution belies the richness of its sounds, a signature of the author's activities in live and recorded works across many art disciplines.
