Church bells at work.

Recorded on the 7th of May, 2023,
in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal),
from the roof of the church, next to the bell tower,
using a Zoom H4n.

Heaven's Bells 1

Bronze Heaven ?

= )

The picture was *not* taken at the church where those bells live,
somewhere entirely different, but in the same city ; )

recorded with a Zoom H4n, from inside the church's bell tower this time,
in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), on May 14, 2023, just before mass

This recording is of the same church as the one in the previous one.

Heaven's Bells 2

birds, birds, and more birds

recorded in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal), on the 15th of May, 2023
around sunrise time

using a Zoom H4n

Exceptionally I used some high pass filter and some noise
reduction on this one, for the low hum of traffic and air conditioning,
and motorized vehicles passing in front of my apartment.

I will probably come back to clean it up, levels, parts to remove if any, etc.  When I do I will keep the same file name but will remove the "Raw" part.

Unfortunately the truck had left by the time I came back to take the picture,
so don't go scrutinizing the photo looking for it, it's not there, lol.

Sounds of air valves from a train, next to the white building, where we used to practice, with Bryan and Francis.

Recorded with a Zoom H4n, 44,1k Hz stereo.  The file is 16 bit wav format.  Nothing was done to the sound, except the short fade in and fade out.  It's raw audio.  If some level of compression was applied at all, it was the microphones themselves that did it.

Have fun with this.

Sputtering Air Valves (2013-07-17)

For all the tracks in this playlist, I was positioned about 15 meters from the port installations, next to my current--well, not really cause now I'm out of work, cause I don't know if you've heard but...--place of employment. That is part of why I can do all this in Soundcloud, cause I have some free time.  If I worked full time, I could only do about one fifth of what I do now in the same amount of time, the playlists essentially.

I have tried to keep the "peaks" out of those recordings, but a small number of short ones have slipped through my net.  I hope you will forgive my weakness, or lack of rigour (rigor).  Please feel free, and I encourage you to do so, to inform me if there are any malfunctions with these tracks, or incorrect information associated with them, like the "metadata" that is introduced when I ... forget it.  I'm sick of that stuff.

I hope these can be useful for people who want to make music with them.  Some where I hit something repeatedly, will probably have to be chopped into individual samples, to be used as more or less traditional samples for samplers.

May the good Gods and Godesses bless you.  ... You go ahead and decide which ones those are ; ).  Bisous
