Over the last ~3 years, my job has required quite a bit of travel. Sometimes I ended up somewhere exciting, like a fjord, rainforest, or bustling city. More often than not though, I ended up in some small town in the middle of nowhere. Regardless of where I was going though, I always packed my trusty little field recorder. Between the constant movement from Point A to Point B, fighting jet lag, spending all day on work sites, trying to find something healthy to eat, and doing my best to at least get a little sleep, it mostly stayed in my backpack.
But, I did manage to break it out from time to time to record the sounds from outside my hotel window, birds, church bells, street sounds, public transit announcements, etc, etc. I’ve gone through these recordings, picked out some of my favorites, and have arranged them into little sound collages, mostly focused on specific countries. The recordings and mixes aren’t perfect by any means, but I found this little project really exciting. I’m so happy to share these little sounds I’ve come across with everyone, and it’s making me itch to get back out there and record more sounds.
Locations in these sound collages include:
Argentina
Belgium
Brazil
Iceland
Kazakhstan
The Netherlands
Portugal
Spain
United States
