#AudioMo: Here's a clip from #NottingHillCarnival 2005, when my house was within the boundary of the event.
Every year I would hang microphones out of my bedroom window for the two days, set up a live-stream and let it rip.
I captured all sorts of goodness from huge crowds to sound system Rampage doing their thing, from fights with police and thrown bottles from the more shall we say, inebriated crew to the people who were there to have fun.
In this recording you can hear a passing band of drummers going down the road next to mine. They never come down my street, which is why this recording is off to the left but it's a lovely sound of good, live energy anyway.

At around 11:30 PM on June 1, 2011, my partner and I went to the 86th floor observatory of the Empire State Building. This is a (not particularly exciting) recording of us getting checked in and going from ground level to the 86th floor in an express elevator.
Once we got there, it was very windy, so that part of the recording is pretty useless, and not included here.
Recorded with an Olympus DM520 and Panasonic WM61 microphones.

In the late afternoon hours of August 5, 2010, we had a pretty gnarley summer thunderstorm coming through in Greensboro, NC. That's all well and good, but what made this funnier was the ice cream truck driving up and down the street playing Christmas tunes while all this was going on. When it played Silent Night, I lost it, because, well, it was anything but that.
I recorded this with an Olympus DM520 and Audio Technica AT-822 hanging out of a bathroom window.

On March 23, 2016, my partner and I were staying at a hotel in Stroudsberg, PA with an enclosed in-suite pool, which was only about three feet deep.
Around 2:30 AM, I couldn't sleep, so I put on a set of microphones and hung out there for a little while.
Recorded (very carefully) with an Olympus LS-14 and a pair of Sound Professionals MS-BMC3 microphones on sunglasses.
Sorry for the transcoding badness. Mastodon does that.



#AudioMo for today the 19th of #June. recorded the #sound of our drier. this is a long #recording so feel free to fast forward if you want. listen to the machine as it revs up to its full power. I don't know but when I listen to this, it reminds me on the sound of my #first #Flight. it sounds like an #Airplane taking off but then losing its power. for the record, on my first flight, the plane did not lose its power. haha! enjoy!

On March 12, 2011, I was (virtually) introduced to a sugar glider through a Twitter follower. The "crabbing" sound it made got me thinking about how it would sound if a mutant sugar glider went on a destructive rampage. Since I didn't have a mutant sugar glider on-hand, I did the next best thing, and this happened.
Meet Killer Sidney, the godzilla of formerly small creatures... or something like that.




you know, if your gonna squish a flac I upload into mp3, you could do me the pleasure of letting me upload the wav so you could at least turn that lossy instead you useless jerk. sigh, #annoyed #audiomo #mastodon.


so for #audiomo, day 18, I know I haven't posted a lot on the hashtag recently, but I found this while digging through some old files, Originally recorded with yours truly on the piano, 11/17/2015. I had to flac it to get it to upload, but have an instrumental of only hope by Mandy Moore. I've got a couple more in I'm gonna save for days 19 and 20. but enjoy. If I had the access and the room to setup, I'd probably play like this again.








So, we have an often odd family. #Audiomo day 11 is only one example of this. In 2019, Marc had a thing. Every time we went shopping, we had to stop at the chickens, You know, the rubber squeaky ones? And he'd squeak all of them. We went shopping a lot that year. This is from October 2019 when @Tammy, Kat, Marc and I were at Walmart. This is, oddly, not the only squeaky chicken file you'll hear this month. Lol. I recorded this on my Pixel 2.




Here is one of my favorite field recordings from this day in 2007.
This was done with a home-made Jecklin disc, an Edirol R1, and a pair of modified Panasonic WM-61 microphones. Lots of editing to comp for broken things.
The image is somewhere between binaural and a spaced omni pair, so headphones are recommended, but it works better on speakers than binaural.
POOR DOGGY!
Starts with wind and rain, then thunder. Very loud clap at 5:46.

Today's #AudioMo is more of a #Music thing actually, and comes from #Jamulus which is an online realtime jamming tool to allow people in different places to make music with each other. In this instance, Alf, the bass player is a few hundred miles from me also in the UK, Martin (guitar) is in The Netherlands, Phil (other guitarist) is near brighton, Mag (drummer) is in Germany and I'm playing Rhodes in London.
This perspective was captured by Alf.

For today's #AudioMo, an FM band-scan from my SIHUADON D808 portable radio. I'm sitting in the garden with the sun beating down on me and it's a very nice day outside.
Capturing this recording using my #Zoom H1N recorder and a patch-cable, then editing all the nasty clicks and pops out between stations, as this radio has a very nasty habit of clicking as it picks up the next station.

I'll have a few clips for #AudioMo this month, but to start with, both clips I'm posting in a thread were actually recorded today, so apologies. This first is a game on #Steam called 'The Vale' and I'm showing about 11 minutes of game-play, complete with my phone going off in the background. I'm hopefully not spoiling it necessarily, just doing a side-quest. Maybe it will persuade some of you to give it a go. You can listen direct in your client of choice, or by using the link to the audio file, as you wish.
I shall consider this post to be day 1: onj.me/media/Playing_The_Vale_…


Can't promise I'll keep on doing it every day as I'm not sure I'll have enough material but here goes my first attempt at the #AudioMo challenge: have a French talking watch found at the Braille Shop in Brussels, Belgium. It's your standard talking watch, round with its ttiny rubber buttons placed between the watch face and the wristband in the shape of the Braille letter R. In the recording the time is announced twice, then I somehow clicked through different modes like, I believe, stop watch and alarm, then I switched it to the 12-hour format and back to 24 again. Enjoy!
