Unprocessed field recording (except for some normalisation).

Recorded with a pair of High End Contact Mics on Sound Devices 788.

All sounds are heard through the metal structure of the railing. Some light finger tapping on the rail reveals the low, gong-like resonance of the steel bars.

Metal Rails at Ocean Front, Beverly MA, with Contact Mics

Unprocessed field recording of listening through a wooden plank linking Venice Pier to a construction platform floating on the canal. The plank is scraping back and forth on the pier surface and is also transmitting the sounds of the platform bumping against the pier as well as ambient sounds of traffic and people.

Single, highly sensitive contact mic. Recorded on Sound Devices 702.

Sangitamiya Instrument Montage

Yesterday I received a pair of Stille and Klang Block contact mics from David Stalling out of Ireland. Very very sensitive and quiet mics I must say.
I set out to do a few recordings close to home and one, and of my go to places is this cellphone tower in town. 
The "noise" you can hear, is actually electromagnetic hum from the servers, wires and whatnot... You can compare to the other recoding I posted that is trees from behind my house.

Vivienne Dick & Slavek Kwi

A 'remote haunting' created as part of a practice-based PhD 'KIllruddery: Listening to the Archive' at SMARTlab UCD, supported by the Irish Research Council. This particular haunting was conceived during the 'Time Travel' research project, courtesy of Creative Futures Academy at NCAD and IMMA. 

The exhibited version of this piece is installed in the grounds of the Killruddery estate as part of a geo-located sound trail 'The Ancestors'. The version heard here differs slightly from that.

Recorded the sound of the wind through the mast and the guy wires of a sunken and iced ship with a pair of diy contact mic's attached to it. The surface of the iced lake near the mast is recorded with another contact mic.
