post-industrial audio

Hi all,

I've been recording audio in many of the buildings along the Lachine Canal before they go condo over the past few years, and though I always see traces of other people having been through/lived there, I never realized how huge this community is. So I'm glad to join!

I wonder if anyone else has been focussed on audio recording in some of these really unique acoustic settings (steam tunnels, huge open factories, etc), and if so, what kind of rig you use.

I finished a piece last year (Vacant City Radio) using sounds recorded in and around some of the classics (CM, Dow/O'Keefe/Lowney, CN sheds), so since I don't have a lot of pictures I thought I'd post the link to that instead. The piece is pretty long (35 minutes total), and has aired on Austrian and German public radio. They seem a lot more interested in the idea than CBC... The glass falling near the end is in our favourite silo.

I know there are a couple of members here who are into that kind of stuff (lcedp, kriss, vala) but they don't post here often. Check out their website; www.audioterrorism.net

Just to let you know that you're not alone!

Kriss is doing lot of recording inside buildings and factory, but theres nothing from this on the audioterrorism.net website at this moment. He done 2 show inside Dow and 2 other at wellington tunnel with Lcedp and Grkzgl, and also released the Alstom MDR cd.

For most of my recording I use good but not precious gear (in case I drop it down a hole somewhere...). Mostly I used an old JVC minidisc recorder and either a Audiotechnica stereo mic or an AKG C1000S. there's also a small Sony stereo mic that's kind of made for MD recorders, and is pretty cheap and quite good. I'm too cheap to buy a proper windsock for the mic, so I literally use a woolen sock over a bit of foam when it's windy (works best with a sensitive mic). I recently borrowed a Marantz solid state recorder and it was SUPER great-- lightweight, record to stereo or mono with phantom power, hours of space, and everything's digitized.

If you record in the winter, keep in mind that batteries die when they're cold, so put your minidisc or DAT or whatever in a pocket inside your coat or in your pants near your skin. That also muffles any sound of the minidisc recorder churning away.
