Hi Zach,

Sounds very interesting, I'd also love to hear some of the results. You're very welcome to use myself and Diarmuid Drew's stream denby_dale_sounds. I'm particularly interested in your thoughts about the significance of these microphones being live vs your undercover recorders.

best,

Ciara

Hi Zach,

This sounds like an excellent project. I'd love to hear some of the results.

You're very welcome to record from any or all of the three streams I have running in collaboration with SoundCamp and other partners.

We're streaming onto the Locus Sonus soundmap from:

- Cerro Pelón reserve in Mexico

- Leamington Ontario (Point Pelee National Park)

- Scarborough, UK

I can also send the mountpoints for each of these if it's easier but wanted to respond now whilst I was thinking about it.

Best wishes,

Rob

Hi,

Great project, like to hear the result of your experiment.

It takes time to listen ...

I can record 24 hours if you want and find a way to transfer it in a decent format

My (garden) microphones are listening anyway

You can hear them at http://planktone.be/planktuin

Maybe you can record it direct from them ?

I had the same question in 1993

I had the opportunity to do a project for Antwerp '93 Cultural capital of Europe.

I was also fascinated by the hum a city creates

My interest was " where does this hum come from"

I used a computer-controlled DAT recorder which made each 23 minutes a 1-minute recording ( actually each 22:30 minutes a 2 minute recording )

This recorder was installed in 24 locations in my home city of Antwerp ( eg. The main railway station, a elevator, the highway, the highest and lowest point in the city, ... )

This way I got 1440 snapshots of my city

From these I made a linear edit on a SONY RM-D7300 set using a score I wrote based on some mathematical rules and translated into timecode references ...

It became 60 1-minute sound images of 1 minute.

It took us 14 days to finalize, and it was released on CD as part in the box NOUVELLE SYNTHESE D'ANVERCE

The box is out of stock ( still on ebay as collector's item ) but can the CD is online at http://planktone.be/dwalingen ( after some clicking through the info ) the sounds start at https://planktone.be/dwalingen/page01.html ... up to page60)

I once made an experiment layering the 24 locations on top of each other ... and I got the hum of a ( my ) city ... but never did this with the full 1440 recordings

So ... I find your project interesting to listen to ... very curious how it sounds.

Grtz,

W.

Ps. I still collect washing machines doing a full warm (40°) color wash ... http://planktone.be/wash

Onderwerp: [locustream mailing list] "time-lapse" stream recordings

Hello fellow streamers.

I've been experimenting recently with a "time-lapse" logic for listening to durational field recordings, trying to condense long-term imperceptible changes into something we can more readily understand. I've been doing 24hr recordings and playing them through a Max patch to compress them to 1hr (using thousands of cross-faded fragments). The gradual exchanges between soundmakers (people / animals / weather ...) seems to be heightened by the montage. But I'm also noticing how the "constant" hum of the city evolves too: not so constant as it shifts in dominant pitch and color. I love the unrelenting "liveness" of open microphones so I'm interested in how these two nearly-opposite listening practices might combine.

I need 22 of these "1 hour = 1 day" segments. I have been leaving recorders "undercover" near my home in New York, USA, but I'm also reaching out to recordists and streamers to see if people are interested in contributing a 24hr field recording or permission to record their live-stream for a day. If so, I'd love to talk off-list.

Thanks!

-Zach Poff
