#AudioMo: Two days ago, Jake picked up a Sony #PS4 from his friend for all of £30. Yesterday, after not playing it for many, many years, I bought #Tekken2 and introduced him to it. This is my first reaction recording after not playing it for so long.
I used to sink hours and hours into this game on the original Playstation back in the 90's, so this is incredibly nostalgic for me.
From the music, to the sounds, everything is tied up in memories of yesteryear.
First, you'll hear the intro music, then a practice match so I can remember the combos, then a survival match.
His friend also found a second controller which Jake picked up yesterday after this recording happened, so we played two-player and it was a lot of fun.
One of the first times I've been able to game with my son in this way and we both loved every minute of it.


#AudioMo: Should have remembered to do this sooner but never mind.
Some of you will be familiar with this project I started way back in 2014, but many of you won't.
I have a fairly sizable collection of free-to-use music for anything you can imagine, with a very simple web-player so you can audition tracks and see if it's for you.
If you like it, there's a download at the top of the page.
Feel free to give it a look and if you like it, please do share it too. Word-of-mouth is one of the best ways us indie musicians gain recognition.

April 29, 2012. I decided to take a really cheap stereo mic that I had, and I placed it in the dryer, and turned it on. I edited this copy, to clean up a few things, but the main part of the file is still intact. #AudioMo #Audio


#AudioMo for June 17, 2024
This was inspired by a post from @wmj1102.
On december 12, 2006, I decided to have some fun with a dryer.
This was recorded with an Edirol R1 and a pair of Linkwitz modified Panasonic WM-61 microphone capsules.


#audiomo Here is a clip of creaking bamboo trees in a #Sydney botanical garden. At some point during the recording I stuck my head in between the stocks to get an inside hear into this rather ghostly sound! Enjoy!


#AudioMo 2024 day 15: A day late, but never a dollar short. To make up for it, I'm sharing a fun little number introduced many years ago to an online friend who is dearly missed. I became acquainted with Marcel Oates on Twitter, and spent hours on Facetime with him. He had a sense of humor, a gorgeous voice, and loved to talk all things audio, and of course dogs. When he shared this song with me, I about fell out my chair laughing.
I still remember the night I received a text from his sister informing me of his passing. It was actually a rainy night, and I went outside and cried along with the angels, their teardrops falling around me. He was a dear friend who I didn't know for long, but made a significant impact on my life.
One of the things I remember is his humor, and his laugh. We spent so much time coming up with funny concepts and scinarios that we wish to record if we could.
Enjoy this fun little number, and I hope you have an awesome day!


Hello #audiomo, today I am presenting to you the tale of two wind chimes recorded with #meta smart glasses. Not too bad, if you ask me! :) #audio


#AudioMo here is one from me with some sounds of #Sydney. I like how the percussion interplays with the traffic audio signal from time to time.


#AudioMo for June 14, 2024
This is an excerpt I recorded for "Blind Ham News," which is part of the CQ Blind Hams podcast feed.
The host, W0QA, asked for the story behind our callsigns, so I recorded this.
The full episode can be found here:

#AudioMo: A great sound as our Samsung washingmachine cleans itself. Water is spinning at a high rate of speed, and if you used this sound in a game and turned it down, put some engine noise under it, perhaps it could be a boat crossing a lake or something.


#AudioMo: In which I manage to get my Zoom H1Essential recorder out in-time to catch the end of the washing machine cycle and record the #Samsung ditty that plays.


There's a Fediverse challenge which runs throughout June called AudioMo:

1. Create & post an audio file every day in June using the hashtag #AudioMo. It can be anything including music, speech, sounds, ambient recordings etc.

2. That's it!

Mastodon lets you post actual audio files, they don't need to be video. They can be any length as long as the file size is under 40 megabytes. Formats can be MP3, OGG, WAV, FLAC, OPUS, AAC, M4A or 3GP.

The challenge also has an account at @audiomo


A federated #audio recording app / platform would be a cool thing. Like a federated version of #AudioBoo now that would be great for #AudioMo


Let's end with a completely silly #AudioMo: Welcome to the sounds of 'The Pink Trombone' which is one of the more bizarre finds in recent times. A few years ago someone told me about this. If you click this site from your phone and disable your screen-reader (if applicable) you too, can have fun making some of the most ridiculous noises known to people anywhere.
Note: Do not drink and listen to this. I cannot be held responsible.

#AudioMo: Today it's a musical selection from a gig I played a few years ago as part of a #Jazz #Fusion #Quartet called Nuvorrian. We had headphone boxes for each musician as we were playing on an outdoor stage, so I took a patch-cable from the headphone box to my recorder and captured it that way.
Drums: Kwesi.
Bass: Kwesi (No not that one!)
Keys: Josh
Other keys: Myself


#AudioMo
This recording was made on January 10, 2018, as I was on the 'plane train' at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport going between terminals, starting from B gates, getting off at F.
Recorded using an iPhone 8 and the Sennheiser Ambeo Smart Headset.


#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.


#AudioMo
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.


#AudioMo
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.


#AudioMo: I was going to #Hamleys with my wife and children on Jan 13 2019 when the road was literally inundated with motorbikes. We'd just left the underground station and were walking toward the shop. The noise here is amazing, and I'm glad I was able to capture it.


#AudioMo
On May 29, 2011, we took a trip to Lancaster, PA. While there, we visited the Strasburg Railroad, and took a ride in a car attached to the no. 89, a steam locomotive manufactured in 1910.
This is a binaural recording featuring two perspectives, made with an Olympus DM-520 and a pair of Panasonic WM-61 microphones mounted on sunglasses.


#AudioMo: I love me a good natural reverb. When I was in #Berlin, my friend Carl showed me an underpass that has some of the best natural reverb I've personally ever experienced. Welcome to this recording of #Treptower Park Underpass, Berlin, recorded with Sennheiser Ambeos on June17 2018.


#AudioMo
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.


Let's go back to Disneyland for today's #AudioMo and take a ride on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Two things about this recording. Thing 1: it's so cool to hear the sounds the coaster makes as it's going up and down its various drops. Thing 2: The poor guy at the beginning of this recording had no idea what he was getting himself into. lol.


#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!


#AudioMo: Tuesday, Aug 24, 2021: Smaaaash!
No this wasn't a break-in, more a break-out. A window fell out of the building opposite and smashed on the floor. This was captured by my outside stream mics:


#AudioMo
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.


#AudioMo
Welcome to Penn Station, NYC. It's about 6:50 AM on March 3, 2019, and I'm waiting for a train to North Carolina. I recorded a few minutes of the station ambiance with my iPhone 8 and Shure MV88.


#AudioMo: Here are a collection of animal sounds from #ZSL London Zoo, recorded on May 22 and June 14 2017, respectively.
When you hear the Macaw parrots repeated, this is the second recording.


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.


#AudioMo: Playing Piano in Battersea Power Station - 15 Jun 2023: youtube.com/watch?v=krP-TgMrl4…


#AudioMo Continuing with the idea of existing without saying much, let's go back to a Sunday afternoon in October of 2009, as I'm with my father in his 1965 Ford F100 pickup truck with a NASCAR race on the radio... Well, mostly commercials, actually.
Recorded with a Zoom H4 and it's built-in X/Y microphones.


#AudioMo: I'm on the way to Cambridge on what appears to be either an old, or just very noisy train, I'm not sure which. All I know is that the thing is clunky and sounds like it's falling to bits around me.


#AudioMo: Some time in 2001 I caught a particular episode of the British Soap #EastEnders on a VHS tape. One part stood out to me as highly amusing, so I rewound that bit and recorded it. It makes a great critical stop sound, and amuses me to this day. You might go so far as to call it a 'Critical Dot' sound, as the character who got scared by the dog is called Dot.


#AudioMo: Yesterday we had two quite lengthy thunderstorms pass through, so I took the best bangs I could find from the outside stream and put them into one file back-to-back so you don't have to listen to two hours of audio. Let's see how this goes.

#AudioMo On the afternoon of November 7, 2014, I was at Clearwater Beach, Florida, when I decided to stand in the surf with my Zoom H6 and it's X/Y microphone capsules, and recorded a few minutes of the ocean waves.
It wasn't a particularly nice day, kind of overcast, windy and a bit cold for the time of year.


Hello, #Audiomo. For day 12, I'm putting up a short, and I do mean really short file proving that we have too many Googles. Here's what happens when our net goes down, and this really catches only about half of them.
