Recordist's notes

Spark chamber is a device for detection and real-time visualization of charged particles produced when cosmic rays hit the Earth atmosphere. What you hear is a stream of sparks appearing on arrays of electrodes inside the chamber each time a charged particle flies through the chamber. Hear more on www.zvirecihudba.cz
