Debbie Rolf Narration Demo

Soundscape of a bike ride along Bedford Ave in Brooklyn. I mounted a Tascam DR-40x recorder onto the handlebars of my bike using a Move portable recorder shock mount and a clamp with a mini ball head mount. 
I recorded over the course of several weekends in September and October and used the audio from 4 different rides to create this piece. I also used the same Tascam to record my bike in my apartment as I spur the wheels and moved the pedals so isolate the sounds of the gears and wheels turning. 

This piece is meant to transport along the route of Bedford ave from my apartment near Brooklyn College to the end in Sheepshead Bay. The transitions between points in the ride are reflected by the sound of the gears.
