Matmos, the electronic duo Hopkins English Professor Drew Daniel and recent Computer Music faculty addition Martin Schmidt, released Return to Archive (Smithsonian Folkways), an album created samples of the non-musical albums in the Folkways catalog—such as Sounds of North American Frogs, Sounds of the Junk Yard, Speech After the Removal of the Larynx, and Science of Sound—to create works such as “Mud Dauber Wasp” made from the sounds of the common Vespidae.
