Field Recordings, Final Edits

Ashton Huntsman
Discussion group 116-802

These are my best three recordings, I think. They have some interesting sounds and stereo dynamics.

On the Street 1
2:24

On a Bridge Beneath a Bridge
1:30

On the Street 2
3:06

These were the other nominations. I like them too, just not as much.

Near the Lake
1:49

In a Park
0:45

Rough cuts

Edited recording on street
2:28
I edited this recording a lot to only include the most interesting parts.

Edited recording under bridge
2:15
Not as edited, just trimmed. Shorter original recording.

Unedited street recording
8:26
I stopped when I heard the sound of a trap set and was extremely surprised when the church bell rang at 5:00.

Unedited bridge recording
3:05
Lost my route but found a pedestrian walkway under a bridge. Fair trade imo.

Drift Strategy

1. Draw a vaguely circular scribble on the map.
2. Follow the line as closely as possible…
3. Except where it follows large, busy streets…
4. In which case take the next street over via the nearest alley.
5. Resume following route.
6. Repeat until arrival at starting position.
