I heard panfluit being played at this concert and it was mesmerising, the notation included different sounds made with the roof of the mouth as well as the notes.

Michael's secret notes:
<https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=53029&m=satellite>
collaboration with [archive.org](https://aporee.org/maps/info/)
<https://archive.org/>
<https://archive.org/details/radio-aporee-maps>
though seems not still automatically pushing to archive.org
<https://archive.org/details/aporee_53029_60598>
If you click on [field recording](https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22field+recording%22)
Note the URL (can unpack it).
Try [advanced search](https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php)
Read end of page, note that it uses [Lucene search syntax](https://lucene.apache.org/core/2_9_4/queryparsersyntax.html)
example from advanced form, adding subject:"field recording" with fields title, year, and subject.
selected HTML table as output format.
<https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=subject%3A%22field+recording%22&fl%5B%5D=subject&fl%5B%5D=title&fl%5B%5D=year&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&callback=callback&save=yes&output=tables>
let's add more fields
<https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=subject%3A%22field+recording%22&fl%5B%5D=call_number&fl%5B%5D=external-identifier&fl%5B%5D=format&fl%5B%5D=identifier&fl%5B%5D=licenseurl&fl%5B%5D=mediatype&fl%5B%5D=name&fl%5B%5D=rights&fl%5B%5D=source&fl%5B%5D=subject&fl%5B%5D=title&fl%5B%5D=type&fl%5B%5D=year&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&callback=callback&save=yes&output=tables>
In archive.org the identifier is important ... it's the key to getting more information about an item (and the URL to do so with).
NB: Subject seems to have a list of multiple possible values...
How to list multiple values / in combination?
<https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php?q=subject%3A%22field+recording%22&fl%5B%5D=call_number&fl%5B%5D=external-identifier&fl%5B%5D=format&fl%5B%5D=identifier&fl%5B%5D=licenseurl&fl%5B%5D=mediatype&fl%5B%5D=name&fl%5B%5D=rights&fl%5B%5D=source&fl%5B%5D=subject&fl%5B%5D=title&fl%5B%5D=type&fl%5B%5D=year&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&sort%5B%5D=&rows=50&page=1&output=json&callback=callback&save=yes>

"aporee_54679_62534" => <https://archive.org/details/aporee_54679_62534>
USE INSPECTOR TO CUT AND PASTE THE FORM FROM archive.org page.
PASTE IN YOUR OWN PAGE AND VIEW IT...
(NEED: either ability to run local server, or to edit comfortably directly on cereal box)
NB submit changes (local) URL but does nothing... we need to add
action="https://archive.org/advancedsearch.php"
to form
tidy -w0 -m archive_radio.html
tidy -i -w0 -m archive_radio.html
With FORMS, you may need to SHIFT-RELOAD (Firefox) to make sure that form values (like selected on an option) are refreshed to their saved values. (It's a feature that a form is "sticky" when you are working on one, so it prefers the values the user has set in the browser).
input type="checkbox"
just one should be *checked*
set mediatype to audio.
query:
subject:"field recording" AND subject:"city" AND mediatype:"audio"
MANY ATTRIBUTES OF INPUT ELEMENTS CAN BE REMOVED: id, class, style
In terms of form operation, only the name and value and attributes like checked or selected are significant.
HIDE THE FIELDS, replace with multiple:
<input type="hidden" name="fl[]" value="">
NB: the *name attribute* is fl followed by square brackets. There is not special meaning of the square brackets as far as HTML is concerned. However, it's a convention that the designers of archive.org have followed as a reminder that the field values with name "fl" are multiple, [] being associated with lists in several languages (like javascript and python). Even if you just have one value, the name needs to stay "fl[]".
Single item:
<https://archive.org/details/reed-warbler>
<https://help.archive.org/help/search-a-basic-guide/>
<https://archive.org/about/>
<https://archive.org/developers/>
finally!
Note that the metadata for an item never contains the information of the actual (multiple) files. Sounds in archive.org typically have multiple versions of the same audio in different formats. An item (like a CD) might also have multiple different sound files (the different tracks of an album). Posts from apogee tend to have just the one audio source in multiple formats.
CLICK ON THE IDENTIFIER to see the "item" page...
Find the "raw audio url" of the audio that plays from archive.org... you could look at the network inspector when you play the file... or (simpler in this case because the files are downloadable), check out the download interface.
THIS IS A VERY GOOD PAGE:
<https://archive.org/developers/metadata-schema/index.html>
> All metadata for archive.org items are stored in <identifier>_meta.xml and <identifier>_files.xml. The meta.xml file contains all of the item-level metadata for an item (e.g. title, description, creator, etc.). The files.xml file contains all of the file-level metadata (e.g. track title, checksums, etc.). While these two files are the canonical sources of metadata for archive.org items, most users will interact with an item’s metadata via the metadata API. For example, nasa_meta.xml correlates to /metadata/nasa/metadata and nasa_files.xml to /metadata/nasa/files.

actually this was confusing....
<https://archive.org/metadata/reed-warbler>
surprise!
LOOK at the results...
```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<script>
let id = "reed-warbler";
fetch(`https://archive.org/metadata/${id}`)
.then(resp => resp.json())
.then(data => {
console.log("data", data);
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
```
Find the RAW audio URL from before...
https://ia801409.us.archive.org/10/items/reed-warbler/Reed%20warbler.mp3
You need to construct this url from the information you get from the metadata. (The metadata doesn't have the full file urls, but all the information you need is there (hint, look for the "dir").
```javascript
let id = "reed-warbler";
fetch(`https://archive.org/metadata/${id}`)
.then(resp => resp.json())
.then(data => {
console.log("data", data);
let mp3 = data.files.filter(d => d.format == "VBR MP3");
console.log("mp3", mp3);
let mp3_url = `https://${data.d1}${data.dir}/${encodeURI(mp3[0].name)}`;
console.log("mp3_url", mp3_url);
});
```

Week 5 07-12 Oct
Issue! Assignment
Michael's Assignment is not going well however I have been looking at other sources of audio, even though I know it would lead me nowhere.
https://vintagemusicsamples.wordpress.com/
audio collections from archive.org:
https://archive.org/details/vaporwave
https://archive.org/details/eastvillageradio
Also a nice coincidence The BBC sound effects archive just opened up to public use(?https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/licensing ) and is also up for grabs if you want to use it commercially.
https://sound-effects.bbcrewind.co.uk/search
As I looked more into the search engine here is what I don't know what to do with:
I find it interesting that there is a 'rights' tab where you can sort the results according to the 'rights' defined by the contributor. However, these rights are usually stories about how the media is gathered which is really interesting and fun but useless when it comes to actual information. On one instance I found the email of the contributor(of a documentary) on the rights section, which was the original director of the documentary itself.
I found
is a common licensing type when it comes to wiki related articles which is defined by the Creative Commons as:
This license enables reusers to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the material in any medium or format, so long as attribution is given to the creator. The license allows for commercial use. If you remix, adapt, or build upon the material, you must license the modified material under identical terms. CC BY-SA includes the following elements:
BY: credit must be given to the creator.
SA: Adaptations must be shared under the same terms.
It also made me think of this book I used to have and lent to a friend, it was about creative licenses. I found it in a second hand book store in Vienna. I picked it up because a research centre in Istanbul was one of the contributors. Naturally I went looking for it online. It turns out this research centre has a database as well and it works very similar to archive.org's advanced search function: [3]
