Roaming the world to snap some photographs, one also hears some interesting noises and bits and pieces of music. This collection of field recordings I mainly share via Soundcloud. But here are some examples of these recordings:
In the past I also recorded some music with various bands – my latest project mockART took a break for 10 years, but was recently reactivated. The goal is to use sounds like I shared above, manipulate them and create music out of them – with a few instruments added here and there, though these sounds are sometimes altered as well.
Most of the music can be downloaded for free on Archive.org, and further tracks you might find on Myspace and Last.FM.

The first sound recording is a Romanian song. I hope that culinary menu of the restaurant was good, as Romanian folk melody! 😀
Well, it was recorded at a restaurant in Chisinau – and it was the best one I found with local cuisine – so the food was fantastic.
I really enjoyed listening to these snippets of “life”. Thank you, Rabirius.
You’re welome – and thank you you for your compliment.
I already uploaded a couple more recordings to SoundCloud.
This is cool stuff, Rabirius!
I’m glad you like my field recordings.

I have included a hyper-link to this page in my recently posted Found Poem.

Field Recordings/ Found Sound are intriguing constructs. It turns aural environment into a kind of multi-layered Found Poetry. There is a whole section of this environmental audio art on archive.org. .
Once again you have created some fascinating work to go with your visual art.
Thanks a lot!
I haven’t really kept up with uploading more recordings…
…but I still have some waiting to be edited.
Though since changing to windows, I didn’t have time to look for another audio editor – hopefully I’ll do that soon.
Goldwave is a good editor.
Have you considered taking some of the audio tracks and combining them with your visual compositions ? Just the type of original creative work that gets posted on Vimeo. 🙂
Okay, thank you, I will take a look at Goldwave.
Actually, I once did something like a video clip to one of my mockART tracks:
I haven’t looked at it for quite some time and I just noticed that it already is 10 years old and the resolution is not very good. I guess back then high resolution was not needed on YouTube. 🙂
That was very intriguing. You may find Walter Smith’s blog of interest. He has been doing digital video work that has similar elements to your piece.

You know a lotIt’s special.
Thank you.
