Yesterday I got a rare comment on my blog from Hidden London. As I was trying to figure out where I’d recorded today’s sound on my walk yesterday I searched the place on google maps and the name Hidden London popped up again. She’s put some pictures of that same place here. Cool huh? Anyhow it’s interesting how my LS-11 recording device tries to take all the sounds in. I wanted to get a feel of what it felt like to be next to a waterway, a railway and under a flight path. However the water takes up most of the sound spectrum and a faint hum of a plane cuts through near the middle with the sound of the train seemingly overpowering the water before the water cuts back in. There’s something soothing and ancient about water. Maybe living in contemporary, urban times water feels domesticated but in this recording it feels overpowering constant and unwavering.
