Tag: Field recording
I like interesting sounds, and whenever possible I like to record them and share them. When I do, they’ll be tagged here. If you’re interested then you should also take a look at my field recordings page, which you can find via the menu > Creative > Field Recording.
Field Recording: A walk through Green Park
Field Recording: A short trip on the No. 38 bus
I recorded this yesterday whilst in London. I thought it was interesting to hear the sounds around the trip.
Managed to get a bunch of recordings today
I was out and about in London today and managed to get a handful of recordings, indoor and out. I haven’t had a chance to review any of them as yet, but I hope to do that tomorrow, and, if they’re good enough, I’ll get them up onto SoundCloud.
More soon …
Another little field recording … Borough Market
The London Sound Survey on SoundCloud
The London Sound Survey is amazing and hopefully I’m going to be submitting my own recordings there in the not too distant future.
Field recording: The train to London pulls away as someone drags a large suitcase down the stair and I don’t help
Really this was just a test recording but I like the sound of the train pulling away.
Recho hasn’t worked for me, but why?
I had some high hopes for Recho, but as I was sort of spring cleaning apps from my iPhone the other day I noticed it and realised that I hadn’t used it in any way at all for months and month. So I had a look at the Recho web site and it’s still there and still going it seems. But every time I tried it even in London I couldn’t find very many sounds or stories or anything that had been left.
So I wondered if in fact it hadn’t been a big success in the UK? Maybe.
Is it worth giving it more of a go? I don’t know. Perhaps I should try again? Perhaps if I try it now I’ll find more stuff in London? I think it might be worth trying again, even for a few days, just to see if there’s more content and it might be fun.
A field recording to start 2016
I said that I’d try again to create a sound diary of sorts, so here’s a start. I doubt I’ll manage to do this on a daily basis, but maybe weekly will work. So this is my first attempt at a start for 2016. I may post more than one per week, maybe not. We’ll see.
This was recorded in a local park. Very quite although you can hear a plane going over and cars occasionally too. It felt quite though.
It was recorded with my new Zoom h2n.
Thinking about a sound diary
When I was listening to some of my older field recordings I remembered that I’d tried to do a daily recording a couple of years ago. It didn’t last very long sadly. It was a difficult trying to find something every day that was going to be interesting, but it was a good discipline to try for.
I don’t think that I’d be able to maintain a daily field recording diary in 2016, but perhaps weekly might be more achievable? I’ll try it out and see.
