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.

Wooden Plank - Venice Pier - with Contact Mic (mono)

April 25, 2025

Today I visited the beach and noticed subtle movements in the sea wrack along the shoreline. I inserted my soil microphones – crafted by the wonderful David Stalling of Stille & Klang – into the damp clusters of eelgrass and seaweed. Beneath the surface, a hidden world revealed itself through sound: delicate crackles and rustling textures, as tiny creatures carried on with their lives.
A small moment of coastal life, amplified.

Recorded on a Sound Devices MixPre-3 II in 32-bit float.
