prof_lofi Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 hi everyone,i thought some people might enjoy this. it's a recording of the boats out on the north sea blowing their horns at midnight, 01012005. this is the type of material we're showcasing at the upcoming phonography show on the 27th. hope you like it,http://billthompson.org/mp3s/hogmanay.m3ub.www.billthompson.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The boat at 37 secs scared me' date=' it must of been pretty near you.[/quote']yeah, my flats right there at footdee, so i was on the beach near there...that boat must have been in the harbor behind me...to be honest, the most startling sound to me was the very first one, because i was out there for about 10 minutes waiting for something to happen, and you just don't expect some far off 'chord' to come in off the sea.

Dazza1040 Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I have a track that was made up using cars on a dual carrigway.What i did was to stand at the side of the road and record a video of the traffic.Then i had to choose some notes depending on the coulor of the cars.For example a red car would be the note (A) blue car (Csharp) and so on.I then tapped in on a keyboard every time a car on the first lane past a certian point.This was done for all 4 lanes of traffic giving me the rythm.I then had to adjust the notes to the colours of the cars.I gave the lanes of traffic a instrument that was like bells and things.The last thing i did was to speed up the tempo.Just thought i would share my experince with you lot.It came out sounding pretty good. I will try and post it so you can have a listen.If i wanted i could paint a pic of the road using the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
