Here is a recording i took of a train passing by my apartment. I used it for an electroacoustic composition and got some really rich and dynamic motifs from it. Enjoy!.
Car approaching from the distance on the left gets louder as it approaches with a squealing engine belt. It moves to the right and sound level diminishes.
Various trains passby:train passby, squeetching wheels, rythmic train mechanics. Build up, fast and slow passby. Recorded with a zoom h4 (120 degree setting), at night in düsseldorf, germany. Unprocessed.
Recording of a diesel loc, part of a maintenance train, returning to depot at about 1am. Recorded from my bathroom window in cardiff east. Repetive sound, thythmic in nature but with a clear pitch. Occasional white noise from airbrakes. Recorded with zoom h2n, 44. 1/24.
Crossing bell and diesel locomotive. Locomotive goes from stop to a slow start with crossing bell. Recorded in dillsboro, nc. Part of the smoky mountain railway.
