Part of my 'gift' at the recent burning seed festival was capturing audio recordings. This is part of a (becoming slightly epic) podcast/audio doco thing ive been working on from that.
uploading for some feedback outside of the inward edit room haze :) eventually it will be part of a 4 or five piece podcast set.. the editing is geared around having a bit more leighway in being a podcast, audiences having a bit more time on there hands. perhaps listening on a train or something (not in front of a screen with its various distractions..)
these will be presented at the upcoming burning seed in an audio chill space..

pretty rough here, levels need fixing and such.. putting up here to collab with group folks.

Burning Seed Fest '10 (Aust) Podcast Pt 3 - Bacchus

This track is not quite a "tale from the jam room" but it was from the same place and time. Dictor (22 at the time), a Sudanese refugee residing nearby visited us and shared his songs about "a young carefree single male".

If you use this recording in a track please do so with cultural respect. I don't want to find this on top of some cheesy house track such as Tim's 'deep forest' call here : http://soundcloud.com/timprebble/afunakwa-lullaby. Remember that one ? gah. 

If you bug me i might dig up the raw file.. I processed this at the time, probably with Nuendo. 

Dictor: Trad Sudanese Songs 18/03/05 (vocal solo)

A few field recording clips. Some on a HiMD recorder with basic sony stereo mic, some on a Zoom Microtrack with a Rode vid cam condenser mic. 

After train doors close, 4s

Train doors close, 5s

Train doors close2, 3s

Youre attention please 2s

a continuation of the train sounds set. 

this was the first few recordings on my Marantz PMD 660, just using the onboard stereo mics and just recording to MP3. 

Western Sydney train sounds [was briefly a creative commons 'hottest' track for some reason:]

Part of my 'gift' at the recent burning seed festival was capturing audio recordings. This is part of a (becoming slightly epic) podcast/audio doco thing ive been working on from that. Ive been experimenting with beatmatching the different sound clips and also have had to beat match my edits too . . which is a bit laborious and is good recording technique feedback for next time (ie: don't interview anywhere near soundsystems!).

does it hold interest? does it give you a feel for the festival (well this stage anyway) ? any thoughts you'd like to share?
production heads: hows it sound ? any tips ? havent really done much dynamics processing apart from the fades and adjusting clip levels. [DJs: hows my beat matching? ? eek]
thanks for your ears

production heads: hows it sound ? any tips ? havent really done much dynamics processing apart from the fades and adjusting clip levels (+ the odd track comp actually)

Burning Seed Fest '10 [Aust] Podcast Pt1 opening ceremony

Recorded edited and posted up on the same day. Hooray. Borrowed computer time, editing off an external drive.

A timely challenge for me as I continue on my barter homestay bike crawl of west vic. 
Theres added layering of atmos sounds and power tool effects captured separate to the interviews.

Then I went back through today and tediously trimmed and filtered out a bunch of pop and boom sounds. baah. Better mic technique next time and will make sure the low cut switch is on.

Recorded on a Zoom H1 internal stereo atmos + an old school mono electret mic for vox. Rec + produced by me using Reaper.
(edited for audiocast listening, probably wont hold that much interest if you listen to it on computer with visual things to compete/distract)

ps - i didn't spend 10hrs on it ! just a couple - all good practice

Stawell Men's Shed - local solution for Men's health [audiocast]

Dylan has been a musician, band schemer, artist warehouse tetriser and a community events manager. He is currently on a bit of a journey which could be described as self-directed study of relocalising.
The presence on soundcloud is to publish podcasts and also to present recordings dug up from old hard drives and cassette tapes along the lines of "tales of the jam room". The idea being to honour all those little projects and bands we go through to get to our current ones, and acknowledge that theres a bit of unpolished magic there - which might just be worth sharing.
This stuff will emerge slowly as Dylan sometimes runs far away from computers.. but in time things to enjoy willl be here !
some recent audio interests:
urban phonography, sound ethnography, audio docos, field recordings
