Bike Trail





It's mosquito season so I thought I would dive right in. My strategy was to capture the sounds of a little used bike trail a few miles from my house.The drift was in a big circle, down the trail near the freeway, down a street and back to my starting point. Since this bike trail is rarely used I thought I could get some nice sounds of the woods. Easier said than done as I found out.The first sound, "animals" is here.

Grass


I'm walking through some grass here. This is great for cymbal sounds. It can be very musical. You can listen here.

Metal Box


Just kicking a box. I tried to do an echo by copying a few times in Audacity. Play here.

Stagnation


The water hear speaks for itself. Press play.

Back on the street


At this point I was happy to be back on the street. The mosquitos were getting really annoying. This was where I got my most interesting sound of the day. Have a listen here.
