 ArtLex on Earth Art and Earthworks
Earthworks often refer to phenomena such as the slow process of erosion or to the movement of planets or stars, especially the sun.
Some earthworks have been small enough to be gallery pieces, but many involve huge land masses, as did Michael Heizer's Nine Nevada Depressions, 1968: big, curved and zigzagging trenches, like abstract doodles on the earth, placed intermittently over a span of 520 miles.
Earthworks can be considered part of the category of works known as environment art.

The study found two conditions critical to earthworks preservation: first, to combat the destructive consequences of erosion, maintain a healthy vegetative cover on the earthworks with as little human intervention as possible.
For earthworks, a management plan ideally identifies key locations for visitor access, specifies interpretation strategies and themes, and determines in what condition earthworks are to be managed: grass or forest cover.

The degradation of one more line amplifier (which, knowing Earthworks, would be of impeccably high quality anyway) would be worthwhile to me in exchange for making it easier to rid my audio of the far greater degradation the cruel world can impose in transit.
Earthworks also gave me the opportunity to evaluate the Z30XL ($900 each, $1,900 for a matched pair), a hypercardioid version of the Z30X.

 Earthworks (engineering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In civil engineering, earthworks are engineering works created through the moving of massive quantities of soil or unformed stone.
Engineers need to concern themselves with issues of geotechnical engineering (such as soil fluidity and friction) and with quantity estimation to ensure that soil volumes in the cuts match those of the fills, while minimising the distance of movement.
Due to the massive amounts of material to be moved — millions of cubic yards in the case of large dams — earthwork engineering was revolutionised by the development of the (Fresno) scraper and other earth-moving machines such as the loader, production trucks, the grader, the bulldozer, the backhoe and the drag line excavator.

 Biography
Earthworks' third album, All Heaven Broke Loose, was recorded in Germany in, sadly, approximately the same one hundred hours, at the beginning of 1993, that it took the Allied Forces to defeat Iraq; the title is perhaps an optimistically ironic comment on that unhappy event.
Earthworks' progress was temporarily halted in 1994-96, when Bruford returned to active service with King Crimson, whose double-trio, double-drummer incarnation toured the world giving over 120 concerts.
This revealed an ever-increasing maturity in his writing for small group which he wanted to take further and Earthworks was revitalised as his main touring and writing outlet at the end of that year.

 EARTHWORKS DK25 DrumKit, Drum-Miking Alternative
It's interesting to note that many great recordings of the past treated the drums as a single instrument, rather than segregating the kick, the snare, and the cymbals (as is now commonplace).
Earthworks would not reveal exactly what was going on inside it other than to confirm that there was some frequency manipulation.
The transient and frequency responses of Earthworks microphones are legendary, and they have become staples in test-measurement and creative-recording circles.

 Bill Bruford's Earthworks: Earthworks & Dig?
According to drummer Bill Bruford, the year 1987 was considered something of a fence constructed in the middle of his career — the year where he, at least from the perspective of his own work, stopped being considered a rock drummer (albeit a progressive one at that) and became a jazz drummer.
With the formation of the first of his Earthworks bands, Bruford apparently walked away from “all guitars and electric” towards “all saxophones and acoustic.” That this artifice exists at all is really only the result of some folks’ need to pigeon-hole an artist, as Bruford’s work has always existed along a clear continuum.
But it was with Earthworks Mark I that Bruford began to be accepted, on a broader level, as a jazz drummer, even though roots in the style go right back to his formative years.

Earthworks Research Group was established in 1996 to provide expertise in identification of terrestrial invertebrates and is dedicated to understanding their diversity, ecology, and biology.
Potential use of this fauna as biological indicators, biological control agents and as tools in soil formation, reclamation and ecosystem management is impaired by the lack of specialists for many terrestrial invertebrate groups.
Combined with the large number of undescribed species, and limited information on the diversity, life history and distribution of these organisms, there is a significant advantage in utilizing the skill sets represented by Earthworks Research Group's association of professionals.
