Taken at about 8am on a friday in my home kitchen in los angeles, ca. I used a tascam dr-07mk2 recorder. I simply picked up my keys from the counter and put them back down.
Wind noises recorded under a window in a high city block. Apart from huge amount of mic internal noise the recording is nice. Could be useful only when played really quiet. Captured with zoom h2 with hi gain at 96khz/24-bit. Edited and normalized with audacity.
Recording of clothes in the dry cleaner for a bit longer than one hour. I recorded this in order to use for my newborn to be able to fall asleep as white noise sound. Works pretty fine because of the repetition;at the end of the recording, the machine stops and restarts a few times for a few short cycles. Recorded with zoom h4n in mp3 format. Reduced background noise in audition. Exported to ogg because of large file size.
Some melodies being played on acoustic guitar, and recorded by non professional microphone in room. Please check up my commercial portfolio. Your visits and listens will cheer me up!thank you.
Pulling the cord on my blinds to shuffle them open and closed. Done to accompany an acquaintance's 3d animation thesis. Multiple iterations and various speeds are included, so find one you like and isolate it.
There is a little bit of wind sound made by the mass of water falling into the shower tub. At the end of the track you can hear me putting away the shower curtain. Recorded with olympus ls-3 two stereo microphones, one bass (middle) microphone. 96hz, 24bit.
Door handle in my kitchen looped four times. Recorded with a tascam dr-05x. Noise reduction applied with a dose of vintage warmer. Is it warmer? i don't know.
Various samples of me opening and closing my old wooden drawers, mostly with clothes inside of them. Different drawers have different weights of clothes in them, and are in different states of repair, so if the first sounds aren't quite what you're listening for, take a listen to the later sounds. Created for use in sinathorproductions' indie project: queen's meadow.
This was recorded at a home and hardware chain store. Along with the general ambiance, a recorded announcement comes over the speaker periodically, requesting that a qualified employee is needed in the "board-cutting area".
A sunny spring evening as heard from the balcony of my apartment, looking onto the yard adjacent to several other buildings. People are coming home, children are playing, swallows flying. A car starts and drives away.
Recording of a door being opened and closed, and then opened and closed again. Very slight footsteps (on carpet) can be heard. The microphone (sennheiser mkh-50) was intentionally placed about 5 feet away from the door and aimed slightly off-axis so as to capture more of the natural room sound/reverb. I have another recording available of the exact same door and mic setup, but aimed on-axis for a more direct recording (it still has a slight bit of room sound - that was what i wanted for these two recordings). Recorded into a tascam 208i audio interface and into adobe audition. Very minor processing (low-cut at 80hz to remove low-freq rumble).
10 ticks of a clock making a perfect 10-second loop. Recorded with zoom h2, then denoised (not agressively) in audacity, normalized and looped. Enjoy!.
