030: Ringing Rock State Park

IMG_3375

My friend Brian Taylor was in town for the art fairs so we drove to Ringing Rocks State Park. The episode is a binaural field recording of me walking around hitting rocks with a hammer for about 20 minutes. Some rocks ‘ring’ while others don’t. Brian was off in the distance casting a rock. We had a nice lunch at Ship Inn (not a part of the recording).

018: Studio to Apartment

A binaural field recording, from my studio in Sunset Park to my apartment in Harlem. I say hi to M.E. and then hop on the N at 36th Street, transfer at Times Square and head uptown on the 1. The photo is from looking west from the 125th stop, they have since built a very large building in the hole. The episode is about 77 minutes long.

016: 7 Train to Queens Museum

A 17 minute binaural field recording, starting on the 7 train in the morning heading towards Main Street-Flushing. After exiting the train at 111th Street, I walk through down 111th in Corona, then into the park near the Hall of Science where someone is playing with an electronic toy car. The walk ends in front of the museum.

 

014: Work to Home

2012-05-03_09-54-03_865

A binaural field recording, from the Queens Museum to my apartment in Harlem via the MTA. It took about about 81 minutes from door to door. It was raining, I had an umbrella. The museum is located in the middle of Flushing Meadows Corona Park, site of both New York World’s Fairs. As you will hear it is also in near LaGuardia Airport. The trip is a fifteen minute walk to the 7 Train, to 42nd Street-Times Square where I transfer to the Uptown 1 Train, to 125th-Harlem. I stopped at a Bodega for a couple things. I did not record the walk up to the fifth floor.

 

012: Central Park, Snow

A binaural field recording of walking in Central Park after a snow storm. I start at the edge of the park, so there is some traffic noise. Once I enter the park there are horses, families playing, people talking and eventually me walking in Strawberry Fields covered in 8 inches of snow. It was a windy day, so there is some wind noise.  No introduction, about 20 minutes.
