 >>I think it would be most interesting to use say in connection with an
earth sculpture or a composition of stone monoliths. Ultra-base.
People walking the site would feel the composition, the changes in
vibrations through their feet, but also through the aural experience as
the stones vibrate.<<


Last September I was driving around Tucson in my rental car with a
friend and pulled into a new, but retro-50s type drive in--kinda cool we
thought. As we sat there eating our dinner, we noticed the car was
shaking a bit, like the engine was still running, but it wasn't--sorta
like the boom-cars the kids drive these days, but much lower frequency.
I got out and walked around--definitely not a boom-car. We just couldn't
figure it out.

Then I noticed the name of the place was "Sonic." Since then I've seen
the Sonic drive ins advertised. Have you been to one of these places? Do
they actually have a sub-sonic system of some sort that shakes the cars?
