Audio Recording - Ian

I spent several hours trying to record audio for the insatallation.  On Saturday, I took a drive around Marine Drive, my intention was to record seagull sounds. |However, not only were the levels of traffic too high as to not get a good recording, but there didn't seem to be many seagulls!  The few that were there were unusually quiet!  It then went to The Spa to record waves crashing against the sea wall, I thought that this would be a good location as there is little traffic.  Unfortunately, the tide was going out and recording was abandoned for the day.

A quick check on the times of high tide saw me heading down to The Spa again on Sunday.  I arrived at about 12:30 a full hour before high tide.  I walked further along from The Spa, to where the South Bay Pool used to be, and identified several good spots to record.  I made quite a few recordings ranging from a little over 2 minutes to over 5 minutes in duration, which is more than enough for this project.  I also experimented with "pitching" the tripod the recorder was mounted on to simulate the pitch and roll of a boat on the sea.

I have not had chance to listen to what I recorded in any depth yet, so I don't know if my experiments worked or not.  Sound files and photographs to follow.......
