Observable - Promenade2239

hey! Thanks a lot for listening to this one and friendly words. It's much appreciated!
This is a quite specific region I live - eastern Poland. You might even hear very characteristic storks in the background haha (and tractors working lol).
Anyway these new Rode mics are truly great - I intend to record the church organ this week as we are just about finishing our current organ restoration project (the instrument has to be properly tuned first - that's the final stage). I even constructed special tripod (in a rough version) to place the mics about 6m high to capture the organ sound properly. For now I will be experimenting with all this only for the purpose of documentation of the organ sound (as this is an old, historical object).

I will need more time to record properly my old upright piano (I own also several old harmoniums but they are partly playable for now) using Rode mics as they come also with changable directional capsules. Soon or later I will post more live recordings and works like this one!

But now it's almost 5PM in here and I just arrived home...


Thank you again for some good words and for the fave!

Best to you,
Alex

hey Ocean,

I am sorry for long delay in replying on this one!

I created that slow-motion effect by appliying a long reverb to the recording (in a real time) - it gave that additional depth to all these very common late afternoon sounds from here.

I really wanted to capture that very natural ambiance but for some reason there was a great amount of people driving their cars at that particular moment.

Thank you for reviewing this one.

Best, A.

thank you so much Joe!

truly these tractors and agricultural machines working distracted me from my real purpose of recording only the 'pure nature' sound. as well as people driving their cars!
Aaargh!!!

lol

Anyway that's what was happening then and I am happy I could at least run my new recording equipment properly working anyway...

I appreciate your nice comments on this one!

Best to you,

Aleksander

Thank you Eyedye for your nice comment.

simply testing out my new equipment this time. I will record the real instruments using this setting soon.

Really good to hear the nice words from you,

Best, A.

there's enough 'effect' on this.

Thank you a lot Ed.

Basically I bought those microphones to record church organ but they have also a directional capsules so I can record other instruments as well, maybe I will try them for my old upright piano soon...
Still I need more time to get more seriously into the music and the proper recording process. For now my actual 'real life' is still far too demanding and sadly there's quite limited time for music.

Thanks again for the nice words and some interesting input on the equipment used here. As always it is much appreciated.

Best Greetings from Poland:) Alex

Thank you a lot Steve.

I much appreciate your comment on this one! Yes, in a sense it's quite experimental track but I experimented only with that slight reverb addition - I had to use it because I think that basically all very common ambient/surrounding daily sounds definitely appear as quite boring to the 'average listener' (but in fact they are far too underrated - they always stay moment by moment unnoticed and constantly ignored by average audience). Therefore I love them even more!

I believe that John Cage was somehow a very spititual guy, like Tarkovsky. His epic highway scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rswYl7RLRNE was a main inspiration for creating this recording.

I really like your current green avatar by the way. I had a green version of mine's as well (but sadly lost it). Everything is really turning green now (in a good sense) haha.

Thank you again and all the best greetings to you,

Aleksander

firstly you must present something useful to be eligible for online collaboration meaning that you need simply to offer something good instead of keeping on 'try listen to my track' looperman spam comments.

basically you are annoying but I do not mind.

again: post a complete track/song

haha thanks:)
I am happy that you liked the strangeness in the recording. Just trying my new equipment in here.

And yes, feel absolutely free to use it - sample it and transfom.

I said 'that's not cool' to centralsdev because yesterday he has uploaded a snippet of my recording without any significant changes, as if it was he's original production.

My inspiration here was dark ambient music by Rich/Lustmord

Again thanks for some good words.

yes this is pretty much the same. you just uploaded a fragment of my recording without giving me credits. that's not cool.

I suggest you to post a link to the original sound source every time when using others work.

and again: try to produce full song sometime, with proper ending and structure. Try harder.

this recording was about 20 min long. notice how gently I faded in/out this snippet. Also I do not get your point on hall reverb. There's already a huge reverb added to my recording.

feel free to use this one - it is free to use anyway.

thanks a lot for your comment. but wait... the sounds of the real world become samples the very moment they are registered. so basically they are samples too...

Just my poor philosoph haha

Glad you liked it! Thanks again:)

as I said learn from the older recordings, not from the looperman members (but you can also do that if you want)
