1 In the field, on the street<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nThis morning’s session calls on us to get out and begin to capture the \nsounds of the world. Rather than a free-form recording session however, \nwe need a structure and focus to make good use of the time. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nIn teams of 4, you’ll take at least 2 recording devices out with you to \ncapture sounds of space, place and people. This approach is partly an \nexperiment and partly carefully structured investigation. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.1 Synchronise watches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\nWherever you are at 11:15am, you need to be standing or sitting still, \nwith microphones recording. Across the central area of the city, \nwherever you are, we need 3 minutes of recording, unbroken, undisturbed \nby your own presence as recordists. Record at at least 48kHz and 24 bit.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.2 Other approaches to recording<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\nOther than this very specific 3 minutes we also want you to capture \nother aspects of the sounds of the spaces you’re capturing, people’s \nopinions, weather, text-only descriptions, photographs of things making \nsound. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 Dealing with the files<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\nWhen your field recording session is over, please come back to Alison House and begin organising your sound recording material\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
