A binaural recording made from on top of a footbridge with light-to-medium traffic passing underneath, building to something of a semitrailer crescendo, and with a bit of chirping birdsong interspersed.
This recording is the engine starting and idling of a 1980s ford ltl 9000 diesel semi tractor. In the middle you hear the truck door slam shut. Recorded with a rode ntg3 and a zoom f8 field recorder.
The sound of summer in japan. Surrounded by cicadas everywhere in the quiet grounds of sanno hie jinja in akasaka, tokyo i recorded this with 4 mics. Mixed it down and ran it through a compressor/limiter.
Semi drives by on the highway. I tried to edit out some of the background noise, but you still hear a flag snapping in the wind a bit. However, if you layer this on top of some ambient highway noise, it shouldn't be noiticeable.
