What Sound Will Chase Elephants Away? for Double Bass

為兩把低音提琴而作。這部作品是獻給彼得-巴克科和裘蒂斯-克萊因曼的，他們於 2006 年 3 月 29 日在倫敦普賽爾廳進行了首演。 問：人類能創造出什麼聲音來驅趕大象？希爾-范-沙爾克維克，南非共和國。 答：大象能發出一種極低的隆隆聲，這種聲音人類聽不到，但對其他大象來說卻意味著危險。重現這種聲音可以驅趕大象。但要錄製這種聲音並不容易。 如果大象聽到獅子的吼叫聲，也有可能離開。這種聲音可能更容易獲得。我懷疑人類發出的聲音是否會打擾到大象

WHAT SOUND WILL CHASE ELEPHANTS AWAY

原文簡介:
Written for two double basses. This work is warmly dedicated to Peter Buckoke and Judith Kleinman, who gave the first performance at the Purcell Room, London, on 29th March 2006. Q. What sound man can create will chase Elephants away? Hill van Schalkwyk, Republic of South Africa. A. Elephants can create an extremely low pitch rumble sound that humans can't hear but that indicates danger to other elephants. Reproducing that sound would chase elephants away. But it is not easy to record such a sound. It is also possible that an elephant will leave if it hears the roar of a lion. That sound may be easier to obtain. I doubt if there is a sound that a human can make that would bother an elephant.
