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!

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.

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 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.

Many thanks, Ciara. I'll check out the stream as soon as possible. So far, one of the big differences I've noticed between streams and drop-recorders is the proximity to anthropogenic noise. Streams are necessarily close to people and their WiFi networks, which is fine for this project because I'm interested in how human rhythms intersect with others. If I'm ambitious enough, I can hike into more remote locations to drop 24hr recorders. In that case, the foreground is unambiguously non-human, even though we're always audible!
Take care.

Ah, good point about the intersection with human rhythms! There are regular human rhythms around my stream, with the road in front of my house - brief periods of commuter traffic, sporadic otherwise, and very quiet at night (UTC-5). You are welcome to use my stream (Ears In Space, Florence MA, as you know) or I can try to do it myself, as we discussed earlier.

Thanks Rob. Some of these are favorites of mine already. The seagulls on the Scarborough library are rock stars. Cerro Pelón is currently down but I'll check back later.

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
Van: Locustream locustream-bounces@nujus.net Namens Zach Poff Verzonden: vrijdag 25 maart 2022 4:22 Aan: locustream@locusonus.org 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!

Hi all
Thanks Zach
You're very welcome to use the stream from my back yard (london_camberwell), and I'm pretty sure it'd be fine to use to other streams we've been involved with, like the ones Rob mentioned and perhaps the Rainforest Canopy stream with Leah Barclay.
Sounds like a great project. Happy also to talk more off-list.

Hi Zach,
Nice to hear from you and of this superb project. Really curious to hear of any results! Please feel free to use the FFPP_museum stream here in Chania, Crete.
Warm regards Maria

Hi Zach,
Very interesting and inspiring! I've also been working on long-term audio recordings for a while and looking for creative elaborations. You can of course use my stream (Holland, Zwolle-> sonic-heartbeat) on https://locusonus.org/soundmap/051/.
You may also use my 24h recording which I made last year in the quietest area in the Netherlands. See here: https://manybytes.bandcamp.com/album/silence-2. I can send you the files if you want. See for more info also: https://wijnandbredewold.nl/Silence.
I'm also curious about your Max patch, can that also be used in Max for Live Ableton? Can you share this patch? Does it take any description to use it?
bw, Wijnand Bredewold

Hi:
Back in the spring of 2014 (May 25, to be exact), I set up a pair of omni-directional condenser microphones on a Jecklin disk connected to a field recorder on an external battery, and recorded continuously for 24 hours. This was shortly before I moved to New York City, so I wanted a good, solid day to remember my home town... or something. I kept those files around. I can upload them somewhere if you like. It goes from 6:30 AM to 6:30 AM, so the sun is already up by the time it starts. I also have multiple TB's of lossless recordings from the streams I've had up. My Queens stream has been gone for over two years, but my Greensboro, NC (actually Jamestown now) stream is still in operation. I keep an SSD connected to that machine, which is always recording to FLAC.
You are welcome to pull from it, but there is an automated clock that goes off every 15 minutes that might get in your way. My archives don't have those. I can go back to any day from December 21st of last year onward from that stream, and can give you a full day from most of 2016 through 2020 as recorded and streamed by a pair of microphones at my old apartment in Belle Harbor. Let me know if you are interested in any particular point in time.
