Midnight recording. I wanted to record really the most basic sounds in my kitchen. Clock on the wall, the fridge's sound. . . It was totally quiet, but not still not. . . !.
Large metal sheet and ornamental metalwork gate to village cemetery opened and shut, creaking on it's hinges. Recorded around midnight to avoid bird and insect calls - despite this precaution there were birds calling in the distance. On arrival i saw there was a house adjacent to cemetery. Fearful of waking the non-dead i didnt hang around for more than two bad takes. I've added this not so impressive recording to give a taste of what i hope to record of this wonderfully vocal gate in the future.
Recorded from my balcony. This is in a relatively quiet neighborhood. The loud tapping noise is the raindrops falling on the plastic shade of my balcony.
Taken at about midnight on a saturday night / sunday morning while waiting at a bus stop on indian canyon drive in palm springs, ca. I used a tascam dr-07mk2 recorder.
A mockingbird singing at midnight. Some suburban sounds can also be heard, such as a train horn. A passing insomniac wondered whether i was making all the noise, and i told him no, it was a bird.
