‘Ghosts and Cries’ – STS (Semipalatinsk Test Site)
This modular sketch was made using Qu-Bit Electronix Nebulae, Mutable Instruments Elements and Clouds, Make Noise Phonogene and Maths, SSF UltraRandom and Abstract Data Octocontroller plus a little bit of reverb. A microphone was connected to Clouds and Phonogene with the Doepfer A-119.
The link in the title is to Wikipedia for more information on STS, Semipalatinsk Test Site or ‘The Polygon’ or Semipalatinsk-21 as it was also known. This area, now renamed Semey, was in the former USSR and is now in Kazakhstan. It was a nuclear test site.
