This field recording is a gift. At the top of the morning around 12:35 am, The City of Bridges (Pittsburgh, PA) welcomed in Christmas Eve with a BANG!  

CHRISTMAS EVE THUNDER CLAP & DISTANT NIGHT TRAIN

This field recording is action packed and so stupid. The time is 11:59pm New Year’s Eve. The countdown has begun in The City of Bridges (Pittsburgh, PA). My recording equipment was in place. I was set to go. Police sirens fading in. I was ready. My goal? Record distant fireworks and ambient city clamor. Keyword here, is distant. 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! Press record! BANG! BANG! POW! POP! BOOM! BANG! BANG! WHIZZZZZZZ! WTF?! WHIZZZZZZ?! This is stupid! CUT! Stop recording! I’m out! 

HAPPY NEW YEAR! THIS IS SO STUPID!

It's the magic hour in The City of Bridges. The transition from day to night. Time to record cicadas. Cicadas are performing love songs in Highland Park. The sounds dominate the urban landscape. Subtle rhythms. In unison. Rising and falling. All of a sudden I begin to hear a low rumble in my headphones. The rumbling grows louder. I close my eyes and accept the fact, "I have no control out here in the field." ;-) 

URBAN CICADAS FEATURING AIRPLANE

Yesterday night heat lightning filled a portion of the sky. "Heat lightning, sometimes known as silent lightning, is the name used for the faint flashes of lightning on the horizon or other clouds from distant thunderstorms that do not have accompanying sounds of thunder." Almost two hours later the sky split open and the sounds that followed were epic.
