Indonesian maids singing in the park -. Every sunday in the streets and parks of hong kong - scores of maids meet up to enjoy their one day off a week -- they are temporary residents of hong kong and no matter how long they stay here for they must return home - there was a case last year of a lady who having worked here for 25 years wasnt allowed to stay. . These migrants mostly live with their chinese employers - who treat them very much like slaves, working long hard days, some of whome get to sleep on kitchen or bathroom floors. . . They arent wealthy so on their days off can't afford to go restaurants an cinemas and any way they are all here to earn money to send back to their families and children, since they cant afford much they tend to gather in groups in to dance and sing, or sit and eat play cards. I just so happened past a 'street' party in victoria park and took a recording as it sounded very exotic and all the people seemed happy in way i couldnt describe - altho i feel this recording is actually a little sad?. .
A better recording of the temple bell at the valley of the temples on the windward side of oahu, hawaii. Recorded with a zoom h2n handy recorder. The clinking sound at the end is me putting donation coins in the box after ringing the bell. This is the custom in japan and elsewhere.
The town bell in avalon, ca on catalina island rings 9:00 am. I’ve included the sound of the mechanics getting started. Recorded on 20 february 2012 with a zoom h4,standing approximately 15’ from the bell tower. No editing (other than normalization) has been done.
Series of mixes of bells and marching percussion. Like listening to bells at the approaches to hell or hades. Like a computer game mix. Rendered @48khz 32bit fp in reaper for all you morphagene fans out there. Now you know where to go. . . Enjoy!.
Recorded at an inside playing-ground in amsterdam, holland. Children are playing and screaming. Sometimes you can hear that they are speaking dutch. For longer recording or requests contact erilee.
Sound is an ibanez fz-7 fuzz fed back into itself into a nanoverb delay. The feedback creates a sound somewhat like a droning saxophone at times. Peak reduction done in goldwave, otherwise unprocessed.
Simple phrase in concert g dorian with a clearly ghosted note around the 2 second mark that shows up clearly when viewing the amplitude or spectrogram.
Some kind of tardis-esque machinery humming away, ready to project the adventurer into outer space. Would be useful as a sound effect for a video involving strange futuristic machinery. No effects have been put on it to aid this. This was created with my eurorack, the main component is a waldorf wavetable oscillator nw-1 module, put through an a-127 triple voltage controlled resonance filter and a a-188-2 tapped bdd delay. The filter and oscillator are modulated in sync by an a-145 lfo.
Birds are every where on kauai. . . Wild chickens and roosters are everywhere on the island as well. This was recorded near princeville on the north coast of kauai 2011-13.
Bach's "overture (suite) no. 2 in b minor bwv 1067: vii. Badinerie" converted into an 8-bit, chip-tune ringtone. It makes a perfect loop, so it is great for call ring-tone.
Long record of city rain with thunder. Recorded with 2 x rode nt3 (in stereo mode) using focusrite saffire. Stereo created with v-mode stand for nt3 microphones (self-made). No postproduction.
