Natural seascapes and riffing ferry horns morph into a mechanized dance featuring indigenous gameboys and jets, the coin-op fortuneteller then cueing the wild human rumpus that is my beloved Seattle. Software used: CoolEdit and Acid 1.0. 04:45  2 Michael Peters    Biesfeld Kürten, Germany Biesfeld is a village in a rural area (Bergisches Land) just east of Cologne, Germany. Hills, small towns, small forests, meadows, small rivers, agriculture, horses, cows. You hear: songbirds - a vibrating fence wire - steps in the snow - cracking ice on puddles - airplane - water in a creek - hen - a horse - wind in large plastic sheets - an owl - chainsaws on a construction site - kids playing - crickets - a car - thunder. Tools used: DAT recorder - Cubase - Granulab - Audiomulch - Wavewarp. 05:52  3 Luca Formentini    Water Garda Lake, Italy Water is the sound of hands in the Garda lake.

Lafayette, Indiana, USA Equipment: Sharp MD-702 minidisc, Oberheim Echoplex Digital Pro, Symbolic Sound Kyma, Tascam 1024 mixer, Gateway laptop computer, various mics. Sounds: downtown Lafayette, Memorial Day ceremony, Taste of Tippecanoe festival, Fourth of July celebration, Mackey Arena at Purdue University, outside my house. The background is a 24 hour time-lapse recording of downtown Lafayette. It consists of about 168 three-second recordings spliced together with cross-fading so that you hear 24 hours played back in seven minutes. In the foreground are time-lapse and non time-lapse recordings of other events. The sound of downtown Lafayette, like most US towns, is typically traffic noise. Against the backdrop you hear the sounds of people living, celebrating, and remembering. In many ways, this is a documentary soundscape. 07:14  10 Petr Dolak    In the Shade of Jan Hus Prague, Czech Republic Equipment: Minidisc Sony MZ R-70, Akai DPS 12, Electrix Warp Factory, MO-FX, Filter Factory, Digitech Quad 4, SoundForge. Sounds: downtown Prague, Bethlehem chapel, Petrin. I attempted to depict Prague as the city of paradoxes, where the ancient embraces with the hyper-modern. I received a great help from a guide in the Bethlehem chapel where Jan Hus used to live and preach (Hus was later burned at the stake). She worded it so nicely that only a little tweaking of the knobs was necessary for me to get what I wanted. Unfortunately she spoke to me in Czech only... Translation is available upon request. Sounds: metro, horses, various doors and gates, etc. 03:13  11 Tape Recorder    The Truth is Marching On San Francisco, California, USA Recorded and arranged by Matt Davignon. Protestors for KPFA recorded at the Embarcadero Center in San Franisco. A very simple additive process involving a short fragment of the main loop. 02:39  12 Tape Recorder    Friction San Francisco, California, USA The screeching noise is a MUNI escalator at half speed. There are also basketball players in Delores Park, a farmers market at the Embarcadero, and traffic/construction sounds from around the city. 03:43  13 Andy Soto    El De Efe Mexico City, Mexico Mexico City: largest human concentration in the planet,oldest city of the american continent. Just a big contradiction, it´s just a Miracle that this city of 22 million just goes on and on...New York meets Dehli, modern life meets ancient traditions, just walked through the flea markets, the streets, these are their voices...Sony Minidisc, SoundForge, Audiomulch, Acid. 03:06  14 Mank    Bangor High Street Bangor, North Wales, UK The main sounds invading my ears on Bangor High Street are seagulls and plastic bags. Thanks to the two cellists outside the bank. 03:21  15 Mank    Menai Bridge Birds Bangor, North Wales, UK A walk alongside the Menai Strait and under the Menai Bridge from which my village takes its name. More mutated seagulls. The two tracks on location volume 1 have their names swapped, so this doesn't make much sense :-) 03:55  permalink for this CT project page: http://www.ct-collective.com/index.cfm?page=music&albumid=14 (right-click and copy link, then paste it on Facebook or whereever)
