The Binaural Source - Sample Sounds

Does the Ambience Convey the Irony?

nospam@example.com (Rich Lewandowski) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 17:54:45 -0800

Our trip to the Dry Tortugas wasn't quite as we planned, but then it didn't go all that well there throughout history either. We had trouble with the surf trying to scuba the reef and it knocked out the fine acoustics of the open air archways and harmed the harmonica recording. Dale Hill had stood still near a rampart to perform the piece that raised hairs as it echoed up a stairway during the formal tour. A professional could have gotten it right and caught the moment. The voices spontaneously bursting into song do add a great impression of the space.

If you haven't had the virtual haircut, get it. Terrific production! (Warning: Bag effect can take your breath away.)

Enjoy your trip to the barbershop:

Sounds Crazy

nospam@example.com (Rich Lewandowski) — Sun, 12 Nov 2006 04:44:00 -0800

This one was in my bookmarks, waiting for the spotlight. There may not be a right time to listen; it is an intense, but higher quality than usual, binaural recording.

The homepage does say binaural recordings and has a Neumann Head as does this presentation page which more properly introduces the recording. Other exceptional recording samples using the Neumann KU 100 can be accessed here. This piano piece is my favorite. The description links to a picture which has a pointer to the Head placement along with the artist and the instrument.

Weekend Travel Sound - Warsaw, Poland

nospam@example.com (Rich Lewandowski) — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 07:57:04 -0700

From http://www.quietamerican.org/vacation.html

"Today's vacation comes to us courtesy Sean O'Neill, who writes, 'On a bright spring day, I walk through the main square of the "old town" in Warsaw, Poland, where narrow cobblestone streets and intricately decorated buildings are convincingly reconstructed to replicate the layout of the pre-war city... In the center on the square, alongside restaurant patios and artists' paintings, a man plays a finely-carved wooden crank organ. People walk by, some stop to listen for a minute, and for a small fee some have their picture taken next to him. Recorded on April 2, 2006, using a Sharp MT770 minidisc recorder and binaural microphones."

Peter Sul writes, "Here is a super binaural recording. It is too special not to share with others. I recorded this at a piano player friend's home. It is a Yamaha Grand Piano."
