I took my mic and simply rubbed it against a plant that had little hairs on it. I found this sound so interesting because it sounds nothing like how I collected it. I think it sounds like someone cutting the tape off of a card board box.
I found a broken mirror in a dumpster, I placed the mic in the dumpster and threw a chunk of glass at the broken mirror. The metal dumpster helps kill any background noise so the glass breaking is a clean sound.
As the airplane flew over my head I turned up the sensitivity on the mic to make it sound "stronger," and then I eventually turned the mics all the way down.
While sitting at the picnic table next to the East Tower of Sandburg hall at UWM I recorded my friend lighting and inaheling a cigarello. The recording is only of the inhale and a wierd "squeel" from who knows what?! This occured on Sunday Sept3oth at around 2p.m.
Here are five recordings that were done in Miwaukee, Wisconsin. If you would like to listen push the play button! The maps are of where I made the recordings- if you'd like to view a larger image click the pic. Have fun...
