What a decidedly different sound, and NOT computer-generated! I would have to assume that you did that track over a period of time, and not ‘all in one go’. David, on behalf of all the fans of Negativland/Seeland, I would like to say that your contributions to the show/recordings help to make Negativland what it is. I could not imagine what the label would be like without your input over all these years. My hat’s off to you.

Cats have amazingly noisy stomachs.
I remember listening to all the burbling of our various cat’s stomachs when I was a kid.
I wonder why.
Don’t know how many cats would tolerate having a microphone pressed to their stomach for very long, though.

Rich you’re right. My little black cat, Buddy used to like to sleep nearly on top of my head and I do recall being awakened by gurgling noises. I can assure you the sounds here are actually my own stomach.

What kind of microphone is that? That’s pretty good fidelity. Amazing the sounds it picked up.

I’m surprised your body hair doesn’t bother you, like gum, dirt, public hair [sic] around your toilet etc do.

Weatherman, my true love! I’m amazed that you haven’t taken that mike over the years and made a sound of when you have to experience every foul germ, sexdirt, and unseen bacteria in your whole universe… when you take a healthy, bran-brindled dump!

syd,
The microphone is an electret condenser type and it is about 1/4 inch in diameter and less than an inch long. This particular unit was used with a room equalizer, an Audiocontrol model C-101.

how much cord did you need to swallow to get that sound? when i tried i just gaged repeatedly.
only a true found sound pioneer could control his gag reflex that long.

The sound of anyone’s stomach(my stomach in this case)can be picked up by the microphone just like a stethoscope can pick up a beating heart.

When can you make more recording’s of your stomach?

I absolutely loved this, so I bought an electret mic and its not working, do I need some sort of specific amplification? I put it into a mixer with phantom power on, brought gain to max and it doesnt get anything from my stomach at all.
Seth, you’re doing it wrong. Go here to learn about “plug-in” phantom power for electret condenser microphone capsules. Also, most digital recorders like the Sony I used for the “ My Stomach” recordings have built-in plug-in power present at their external microphone input jacks. The main difference between phantom power and plug-in power is the voltage. Regular phantom power is 48 volts DC and plug-in power (typical plug-in power circuit for electret condenser microphone) is typically 5 volts DC or less, so you may have damaged your mic. capsule. It’s unlikely you hurt the mixer. Mixers have series resistors in their phantom power circuitry (typical phantom power circuit) for isolation and to protect against dead shorts. Check pages 47 and 48 of the Sony help guide for basic instructions for connecting an external electret condenser microphone to the icd-sx700, the unit I used for this recording. Keep in mind I used an eighth inch Y cord with a 3 conductor plug (tip/ring/sleeve) on one end and two 2 conductor jacks (tip/sleeve) on the other end for left and right microphone inputs with plug-in power at each jack. The plug-in power voltage I measured at each jack was around 2 volts DC, suitable for a single electret mic. capsule at each jack. I hope this helps! Just for fun, here’s a website and podcast about phantom power.
