36 [Quran English] Surah Ya-Seen

A dense, diverse and constantly evolving city within Detroit, MI, Hamtramck is also a rich tapestry of sound. The third and final chapter in this series of sound maps, "Spirits..." is a unique 9 minute cauldron of ambiance sourced from a very unique post-Industrial neighborhood. Sacred religious tones and the bustle of an urban landscape dominate the atmosphere, but allow more nuanced sources like birds, small children and distant trains to color the mix.  

Unlike the first parts from this sound map series, "Spirits of the Old World" is not designed as a realistic walk through a changing location, but moreso a surreal sound collage you might have as a dream of a real place. This particular dream sets you in one of Hamtramck's myriad of narrow alleyways, walking alone at a hazy time that could either be early morning or late afternoon. A child calls out from a balcony and you find a large gathering of pigeons high up on power lines. One side of the alley meets a park, where fields of cicadas are beginning to stir. Further through the park, a train can be heard approaching. An Islamic call to prayer carries across the whole neighborhood, echoing into a wall of church bells.  In an instant, the swarm of birds disappears over the horizon, where more prayers and bells emerge in differing forms. The dream winds to a close atop the I-75 freeway overpass, surveying ten lanes of traffic below.

All sounds recorded and edited by R.J. Stefanski in 2015 on Tascam DR-07 and Crown SASS Stereo Mic. Edited and maintained at pristine 96 kHz 24 bit WAV audio. Enjoy on good headphones.
