Stephen Vitiello is an artist who often uses recordings of ambient sounds to create soundscapes. This photo is of a contact microphone picking up the vibrations of wind and airplanes from the 90th floor of the World Trade Center. A contact microphone is a form of microphone designed not for picking up airborne sound waves, but rather to act as a transducer which picks up vibrations through solid materials and converts them into audible sound.
