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.
I liked this one right from the beginning....not sure what that sound is (the tubing?), but it reminds me of a fog horn or horn of a barge on a huge bay. After that, is that an elk call that comes in before the first bell ring? They make those out of rugated tubing.
