Asheville Audio Postcard #1: Friday Night Drums

(Crossposted from Scrutiny Hooligans)

pritchardpark.jpgThis is a ten minute binaural field recording of polyrhythmic goodness captured last night at Pritchard Park. That’s right - I braved the undulating trustafarians and the patchouli stank so you wouldn’t have to!



I’ll be posting more field recordings taken in and around Asheville from time to time. As is the nature of binaural recording, headphones are highly recommended. A higher-quality MP3 file is available for download here.

Technical info: Sound Professionals SP-EMC1 microphones -> Edirol R-09 -> Cool Edit Pro 2.0. Encoded to MP3 (128kbps stream, 320kbps download) using CDex v1.70/Lame Encoder v1.32. Pic borrowed from 1000 Black Lines

Great pick-me-up for my early morning listening. 6:45 a.m.

More cow bell.

Oh, and thanks for the audio tip, I'm going to by a set of SP-EMC2 microphones.

Nice clean audio.
I was in radio for 15 years in Asheville, grew up here, still live here,
