Percolation
|
Theoretical
term relating to the process of transmission by which sound becomes trapped
in geological structures.
|
Sonic
sedimentation
|
Process by which
sonic phenomena are laid down in strata within sedimentary rock.
|
Crystalline
induction
|
Electromagnetic
sonic effects found in quartz and other crystalline forms (theoretical)
|
Sonic seeding
|
The active
process of surface absorption that precedes percolation. The full process
appears to be Seeding > Percolation > Imprinting > Earth Trauma >
Release, though this remains to be empirically proven.
|
‘Sounding Space’
|
A field site in
which geological sonic phenomena may be detected.
|
Earth Trauma
|
Historic incident
in which the geology of a sounding space has been altered, allowing for the
emergence of sonic phenomena. (ie: Mining, earthquake, landslip)
|
Imprinting
'Hot Spot' |
Post-percolatory
capture of sound within subterranean strata.
A focused, mainly localised sonic vent |
Igneous
response
|
Distinctive
bass-tonal effects, detected in igneous (volcanic) areas.
|
Sedimentary
response
|
Distinctive
mid-tonal effects, detected in sedimentary (alluvial) areas.
|
Metamorphic response
|
Distinctive
vari-tonal effects, detected in areas where geology has been shaped by pressure,
or glacial erosion.
|
Sonic Porosity
|
Suitability of
geological conditions for seeding, percolation, imprinting and release of
sonic phenomena.
|
Conversational
|
Phenomena
pertaining to emissions of the human voice.
|
Melodic event
|
Phenomena
pertaining to emissions of music or harmony.
|
Ambient event
|
Phenomena
pertaining to emissions of natural sound.
|
Proto-historic
event
|
Phenomena
pertaining to echo-type replay of specific historic events.
