What Sound Will Chase Elephants Away? for Double Bass

为两把低音提琴而作。这部作品是献给彼得-巴克科和朱迪斯-克莱因曼的，他们于 2006 年 3 月 29 日在伦敦普赛尔厅进行了首演。 问：人类能创造出什么声音来驱赶大象？希尔-范-沙尔克维克，南非共和国。 答：大象能发出一种极低的隆隆声，这种声音人类听不到，但对其他大象来说却意味着危险。重现这种声音可以驱赶大象。但要录制这种声音并不容易。 如果大象听到狮子的吼叫声，也有可能离开。这种声音可能更容易获得。我怀疑人类发出的声音是否会打扰到大象

WHAT SOUND WILL CHASE ELEPHANTS AWAY

原文简介:
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.
