3 Royalty-Free Audio Tracks for "Tate Modern"

Noise sound from crowd inside london's tate modern.

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.

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.
