Recording train arrival, from left to right, at grønland t-bane station. Equipment: roland r-26, internal xy and omni microphones mixed down as stereo.
A drain after a water flow: the water seems to build up a physical-mechanic surface tension kept mass in the tube, opens and closes this bubble-entity producing a specific rhythm in the plughole resp. The drainage pipe. It pulses with various plops and splashs, starts off with a firework kind of beat but then one hears a differentiated rhythm of 4-strokes sequences with slugs before these etc. Getting slower. Many minutes later it ends (beyond this track). The (hearable) cut is just the censorship of a small abortive piece -- left in to document the recording as recording.
A field recording of whitechapel in london. The recording is not the best in the world, but i'm sure it will find some use. Plenty of traffic, footsteps, fleeting whisps of speech, and general city noise.
This was recorded on london bridge, the sounds include people walking and cars driving past, the traffic was moderate and not many people were around when this was recorded. Recorded using a marantz.
A short clip of three buskers playing a christmas carol. Accordian, drum and, later, trumpet. In a tunnel under a bridge on the south bank in london between festival hall and tate modern. Zoom h2, built in mikes.
Stereo recording made in the generator hall of tate modern between exhibitions. The end of the hall furthest from the entrance was empty, so i ran the recorder for a couple of minutes just to sample the reverberation. Because it is a school holiday in the uk, there were large numbers of children in the gallery, especially on the upper deck bridge about 25m from the recorder, and their voices are higher pitched and their behaviour extrovert. The space is large, so the echoes give a lot of atmosphere. Recorded on zoom h2. Transferred to audacity and high pass filter with breakpoint of 180hz used (12db/octave) to remove the hum that is prevalent at this site. +6db of amplification used, so peaks at -18dbfs.
Sparrows in a bush near roupell street, london se1. The street is a popular walking route for commuters from waterloo heading off into the city, and their footsteps are very prominent on this recording.
This is a stereo recording of a city ambience in greenwich, london, uk. This was recorded during the day and there is a very active flight path overhead. These are raw unedited wavs and so will need some spit and polish before use. Keep an eye out for aircraft!.
Walking down roman road market in east london, on a sunny saturday the 4th of august, 2018. Snatches of conversation in several languages are heard as i walked past.
