Geofon drone and sprinklers disquiet0443 by rizzi published on 2020-06-26T11:54:00Z So I woke up this morning and read the email about this weeks Disquiet Junto assignment - once again it hit bulls eye - both in terms of how I usually work with field recordings, and because I have been fiddling with a similar idea this past week… Since the lockdown in March I have found myself recording a lot - more that I’m usually able to, and the two recordings I chose for this piece, were both done within the last couple of months. I Googled “ Musical Mashup” and read this on Wiki “… is a creative work, usually in a form of a song, created by blending two or more pre-recorded songs, usually by superimposing the vocal track of one song seamlessly over the instrumental track of another” So I decided to treat one recording as the instrumental, and the other as the vocals. The deep drone (instrumental) is a recording of the vent shaft (in the track picture) that sits outside the music conservatory where I teach - I used a LOM Audio Geofon to capture the resonance. The other recording (vocal) is a recording I made on the small island Fur in the northern part of Denmark - it features a sprinkler system at a tennis court - again I used equipment from LOM Audio - the sprinklers were recorded with a pair of USI pro mics in ab 40 into a Sound Devices MixPre3 II I really like the oscillation that occurs in both tracks and the interplay between them.
