Lake Ice Montage

A binaural recording of an industrial air conditioner - the recording is "performed" in the sense that the recordist (me) physically moved the binaural microphone throughout the sound field, thus producing a natural panning effect. This keeps an otherwise monotonous sound non-static and more interesting.
