Coffee shop in tokyo. Lots of background noise and conversation. Staff is cleaning. Espresso drinks are being made. This recording was made with a stereo pair of mics placed at a coincidental 120 degree angle. I rolled off the low end at 28hz to remove the sound of coffee cups being set on the counter where the mics were placed.
Various sounds produced with an espresso cup and a teaspoon: stirring the coffe, hitting the cup with the spoon, sliding the cup on the table. X/y stereo (zoom h5).
It was recorded in tallers building of pompeu fabra with h202 recorder with a high gain. The sound is short and has a high-pitched tone. We can listen the sound of air-conditioning.
Perception of the sound generated when coins are inserted to the coffee-machine. This sound has benn recorded using the zoom h2 handy recorded next to the coffe machine of tallers of tanger building.
My coffe-machine (a senseo) went bezerk last tuesday. I added some madness to the recording using granular synthesis and revers. The result will end up in one of my compositions, it is the power-of-fracture. To be honest, i like this kind of madness. . .
