The ambiance recorded inside starbucks coffee around silom are in bangkok, thailand. Not crowded. Soft background music. Recorded with a cheap omni-directional condenser microphone.
14. 03. 2005, plaza allada vermell in barcelona. Somebody is sitting in front of my window and plays the berimbau. Recorded with a cheap microphone, mono.
Created for a play. Sort of cheap sounding but it was meant to sound weak and half-assed. The king for whom this fanfare was played had those qualities.
This is a windchime recorded very quietly struck with a triangle beater with a fairly cheap microphone, noise removed, and normalized to max volume without distortion. Higher note of 2.
