/215 - Corruption

Went out to water the garden and tried taking a panoramic pic, but was having a hard time keeping it steady while moving around the boxes. I gave it a hard time back.

/005 - Dark Water

Shot this video on my iPhone on my way to work Tuesday. We had a heavy winter storm the day before and the lake was very moody. Made a few field recordings (used the other adapter I mentioned and it worked much better, but it’s still rather fiddly) but they didn’t turn out well due to heavy wind blowing the mic out. Watching this reminded me of some old sounds I made which always felt to me like treading water in the middle of the ocean. Tried my hand at editing them together with iMovie, and although I’m not quite happy with the quality and the fades, I’m pretty amazed at the tools we have bouncing around in our pockets.

/002 - Winter Walk

We got a lot of icy rain yesterday that turned to snow overnight. I have been meaning to try more field recording so thought this was a good chance. Was looking at hardware options last week, but since I don’t record much I decided to use what I already had - a Audio Technica AT2020 usb mic and my iPhone. The recording turned out fine for my purposes, but was very fiddly dealing with getting the app to recognize the mic via usb adapter. I will try another adapter I have laying around here, but it’s very likely that getting something standalone will be easier to work with. I was walking fast because I was on my lunch break…
