Was going in and out of my cellar door today and had to capture the rich sound of creaking. There are several variations- long and short, and outside ambience.
The latch door from an old coin-operated washing machine being closed. Series of instances. Recorded at close proximity in stereo, 44. 1khz, 24bit on a tascam dr-01 portable recorder.
Large metal sheet and ornamental metalwork gate to village cemetery opened and shut, creaking on it's hinges. Recorded around midnight to avoid bird and insect calls - despite this precaution there were birds calling in the distance. On arrival i saw there was a house adjacent to cemetery. Fearful of waking the non-dead i didnt hang around for more than two bad takes. I've added this not so impressive recording to give a taste of what i hope to record of this wonderfully vocal gate in the future.
Another composition of elevator sounds, this time more modern than last. 0,00 - 0,65: button0,65 - 11,50: door close11,50 - 52,90: ride (+ chime at the end)52,90 - 58,55: door open.
This sound was recorded during a special door knock for the short film "painting" on a zoom h6 recorder (xy capsule) and a sennheiser me-2 lavalier microphone.
