This is a recording of a slow freight train passing from about 50 feet away using the internal mics of a tascam dr-40. The recording was made in southern mississippi, usa. The train was going down a gentle slop, around a bend. The engines can be heard approaching and passing, followed by the various sounds made by the wheels as the individual cars pass. The file was edited using adobe audition 6. The processing used was a high pass filter around 30 hz and a multi-band compressor. A couple of times during the recording clipping of the pre-amps can be heard because i was manually riding the input gain.
The cyber planner (or central committee of mondas) as heard in spare parts. This is a recreation made with tts and voicechanger. Ioalso sounds like cyber planner from the wheel in space.
Hedgehog eating cat food recorded from 50 cm distance with lom's uši microphones and a tascam dr-04 recorder. Noise of the river svitava in the background.
A door creaking into a spatial, hollow abyss. Spatial depth, large room. Creepy, ominous creak. Recorded with the tascam dr-40 built-in microphones, processed in pro tools 10, bounced to a 48khz 24bit wav file.
This time a more abstract sound clip which in that case was prerecorded (bell 1) altered to the extend and used from mono back to eight channel ending up l+r. Although its abstract atmosphere the modular effects rings on a specific structure using 20th century harmony "rules" and of course tempo. Enjoy!.
Just passed a construction area where they were using two jackhammers directly at the street - very loud but very clear too in this recording - hopefully useful for some of you!.
I wanted to escape the parade of our schützenfest, but suddenly i was in the middle of it. . . I was amused of the looks of these guys and how they wondered "what the hell is that grey furry in his hand?" but no-one was hero enough to ask me ;)well, the recording is a great one! but i guess i will never be that near to a marching parade again. Hopefully somehow useful for some of you!.
ave maria, played on the violin by a young student in an old wooden church in wdzydze (poland, kashubia). Registered on the tascam dr-100 with internal uni microphones.
A remake (made using beepbox. Co) of the sound of a cyber-gun shooting in the 1966 doctor who episode "the tenth planet". The sound is basically just a dissonant beep.
A robot voice made with text-to-speech and voicechanger. Io. Sounds a bit like doctor who's cybermen (however, their voices were not made using text to speech back in the 60s/70s - they were made using an electrolarynx or vocoder.
