woops, it’s been a while since i put up a sound bite, so here is the second installment direct from the new york subway. while i was waiting on the platform, a busker to my left started playing his guitar. people walked by him, some dropped a coin or two in his case, but nobody seemed to listen to his music. he stopped after two minutes or so, ending on three decisive strums – gathering all his belongings, he then left for a better place.

note: two parts of this sound bite are quite loud… so you might want to turn down the volume, just in case.

I do realize that this site has been lacking lately, so I hope to make it up to you by bringing in a new segment called “Sound Bite”. Basically, my old mp3 player always had the ability to record sound and one day, I finally made use of this function by recording half an hour of me walking through downtown Montreal.

What I love about sounds is that nobody pays attention to them, yet they are everywhere, anywhere, all the time. In recording live sound, you capture bits of everyday life that the conscious mind never cares to pick up on – all the little things that fill your ears in between music, words, rhythm and silence.
