exploring sounds in newry mill w/ wendy owens

Me and my friend wendy decided to go on a little field recording trip out to the newry mill that i went to a few months back i hoped to get alot more recorded this time because last time i focused mainly on footage.

The main room we were recording in was the furnace room i believe, here is some footage of the recording below.

I found a little electrical box that had a series of tumblers that you could spin there was also random metal in there than made little clinks and noises.

Here is a clip of wendy messing around with the pipes hanging down from the mill.

This clip is from a little wheel that was on a wooden door.

And here are some more clips of wendy exploring around the mills sound.

All in all this was a really fun trip, it was nice to have someone with me this time around exploring the sound of the place, this is a space i play to return to time and time again, there is so much to explore and so many possibilities.

exploring stone slate

 

My mom has this painted stone slate that hangs outside their garage, when its really windy it dings up against the brick and places nice little sounds, so today i decided to take it down and mess around with it a little.

 Below is a video while i was recording what i planned to process,

 

Heres a little video i took while processing the sample of the slate,

recording water using reverse speaker mic

The original purpose of this mic was to record ants but i have yet to go out and find a ant hill so i decided to mess with it tonight letting water bounce around in the dome ive placed a picture below of what the speaker looks like and a recording of the water test underneath. <a href="http://seeyouinsleep.bandcamp.com/track/recording-water-using-reverse-speaker-mic">Recording water using reverse speaker mic by seeyouinsleep</a>

big propane tank + mallets + outside

So i was taking out my grandmas trash tonight before i left to go to the radio station and i seen that she had a rather big propane tank so i figured i would get my mallets and recorder out and give it a few hits before i left, id like to go back and try it out with contact mics im sure it would sound a whole lot better.

Random Object Improv: washers, soda tab, matches, speaker

This is a very unpolished and raw improv i did using random objects i just started to grab, the whole thing is a one take live recording using my zoom h4 in stereo mode and nothing was edited.

I really enjoyed doing this the speaker worked really well as a lead of sorts and the washers and soda tab were very good for a sort of texture.

Field Recording - Afternoon in the front yard (stereo)

I did a recording in my front yard this afternoon with my h4 using the internal mics in stereo mode, i like this recording cause you can hear the cars on the road as well as birds, someone cutting their grass and so on, very nice vibe to this one.
