A noisy bus ride

2023-11-1402:08

This was a trip on the number 36 bus to Paddington. The heater in the bus was really noisy, so of course I recorded it.

Sounds from the Buzzardry in Sussex

2023-10-0912:51

I have edited together a handful of recordings I made whilst staying in a treehouse in Sussex called the Buzzardry. The collage begins near water and you can hear a family walking nearby. It continues with a selection of other water recordings followed by a longer section where I put my Zoom H2N on a table and just let it record for while. I especially like the part where a bee decides to investigate the recorder, and of course the ducks who make their presence known throughout.

Carpet Cleaner

2023-09-2503:28

I had some professional cleaners in to deep clean a property. I arrived just before they were finished and quite liked the sound that the cleaner made.

A really big storm

2023-09-1807:39

Last night / this morning we had a huge storm. If you're in the south of england then you probably heard it too. The lightening was going every few seconds and the thunder was almost constant. It kept me awake so I thought I would record it. The image I used was one of the lightening flashes around 1am. It lit up the entire sky.

2023-07-1405:01

Standing in the chip shop waiting. It struck me that there was a very unique sound, so I took this recording.

The sound of rain

We had some heavy rain, which is a sound I have always enjoyed. So I recorded it with my zoom h2n.

$Train to Pontefract Tanshelf$

Train to Pontefract Tanshelf

2023-03-1616:36

I recorded this on a train from Wakefield Westgate to Pontefract Tanshelf. Only a journey of 20 minutes, but filled with sounds.

Inside the Pallant Gallery Chichester 16 2 23

2023-02-2404:47

I was in this gallery at an exhibition on the Sussex landscapes. It was quite good overall, so I thought I'd record a short amount of the sonic landscape in the gallery.

Sound of the river 20 2 23

2023-02-2008:13

This is actually three recordings of the river Thames taken in the morning, midday and afternoon on the 20th of Feb. Enjoy!

Broken lift announcement

2023-02-1400:13

When you listen to this you might not know what it is. I was walking in to a local station and I heard this. It was actually the lift to the platform. Normally it would announce 'platform' when it gets to the platform, but something was obviously broken and all it was doing was repeating 'pla, pla, pla, pla, pla, pla, pla, pla'. I was in something of a rush so I was only able to grab a few seconds of it, but I thought it was really good. Recorded with an Apple Watch.

Sounds of the river thames 13 2 23 (morning)

2023-02-1303:16

I tend to be in this location once a week and I seem to have fallen into a pattern of standing and looking at the river and recording the sounds there.

A building site near St Paul's Cathedral

2023-02-1000:44

I was walking to an event and I could hear this even with noise cancelling headphones on it was so loud. It's only a very short recording, but I thought I'd share it. Recorded with an apple watch.
