notes : a locational sound piece for tape involving re-recorded audio from VLF (very low frequency) emissions from astral bodies recorded at night at rangatira and waiorua bays in the lead up to the transit of venus (june 5-6, 2012).
it has been documented that the other event in the current dual venus transit in 2004 had effects on atmospheric electric parameters, including VLF amplitudes, despite.*, and
it was the 1769 british expedition to tahiti to observe the transit of venus by lieutenant james cook which led to serendipitous explorations of the antipodes which include the recorded first british sighting of aotearoa.**
