158: San Diego. In public. At a distance.

Episode 158 of the podcast features four field recordings from a weekend out and about (August 21 and 22, 2021).

On Saturday, I rode my bike downtown to record outside the Phillies v Padres baseball game. Then, while I was downtown, I walked through the outdoor restaurants/bars in the Gaslamp Quarter. On Sunday, while on the way back from lunch (we are installing a new show at the museum, better to work than worry) I recorded a Brazilian drumline practicing near the World Beat Center, then recorded walking through vendors the Plaza de Balbo.

The recordings are collaged slightly.

068: Reading, walking, pizza/EDM, walking

20160616_124523A binaural field recording from this past June in Amsterdam… the recording begins sitting in a plaza near the Athenaeum book store reading Children of Time, a fantastic evolutionary scifi book I purchased earlier that day. I then walked for a while until eventually I got hungry and I ordered a slice of New York Style Pizza… I ate the slice to EDM. The remainder of the recording is of wandering my way back the plaza near the bookstore. 

054: Amsterdam Central Station

20160616_134754Episode 54 of the podcast is a binaural recording of Amsterdam Central Station. I was sitting at the main train platforms until someone started to smoke near by, at that point I walked through the station to the busy street outside. I ended the recording walking to our hotel and going up the stairs to our room. The recording is about 20 minutes, no intro, but a short outro.
