I’ve came across this post<\/a> describing how to go about street recording. I had never really thought about the process before, so it was very hit and miss for me. Sometimes I would get good results, sometimes not so good. Des’s idea of creating a sound map of the area before recording is inspiring.<\/p>\n

\"Southwold<\/a>In some ways it is common sense – in tackling anything it is good to have an idea of what you are trying to do. Just as a photographer frames his picture, the orientation and location of a recording is part of framing the experience, it is not enough simply to point a mic in the general direction of the sound.<\/p>\n

Sound does not have the frame of a photograph, and most field recording rigs take a wide-angle perspective if they were a camera. So getting in close matters. On a trip to Southwold Pier I figured I would try out the new technique.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.richardmudhar.com\/sounds\/audio\/100929-1450_southwold-arcade_LS100193.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Sound walk through the amusements arcade<\/p>\n

This is a short walk past a lot of the noisy amusements. The attention-grabbing “Hey, let’s shoot hoops” from the first attraction is so American for what is a quintessentially English resort!<\/p>\n

The second is a recording from one place, in the building with the Tim Hunkin artworks\/attractions. I did try and get the sea churning to give it some perspective, and the start of the fly attraction “You are a Fly” gives it a discrete start.<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/www.richardmudhar.com\/sounds\/audio\/100929-1508_southwold-pier_LS100201.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Tim Hunkin attractions on Southwold Pier<\/p>\n

This one doesn’t quite get the balance between sea and the attraction right, but I am getting a feel for what the sound map can do for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
