Recording made with a Tascam DR-03 in my kitchen and back porch of my apartment.   I just moved yesterday and this recording documents my new neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon with birdsong, a barking dog and the occasional passing cars.   Strikingly different in aural ambience compared to the urban environment of my former neighborhood.    The first few seconds is me walking around attempting to record the buzzing noise from the refrigerator then I walk to the back porch for placement near the open window.

Back Porch on 6-17-12

Initial rough mix that incorporates several elements and sound sources.  I used the sample loops from the porch field recording and several processed animal, bird song, and a synth pattern into a....'everything on the porch' mix.
