Synopsis

ABOUT MEIm a Dutch animator, illustrator and designer who cant help venturing into different areas of design. ABOUT THIS PAGEThis SoundCloud page contains my field recordings. An old hobby that grew big over the last years and gives me great pleasure. A lot of these recordings end up being used in my music and live performances one way or another. Follow the Einzelganger-link below to go to my musical project.BINAURALSome of the recordings are 'binaural', meaning that the method of capture recreates an accurate stereo image of the environment when listened to using headphones. To enjoy this effect, listen to those marked 'Binaural fieldrecording' using headphones!Here's more on binaural recording.GEARI use a Zoom H2 recorder. Sometimes with additional Sound Professionals SP-TFB-2 binaural microphones.MUSICSome recordings end up being used in my music. You can hear examples of that on the pages of http://soundcloud.com/einzelganger and http://soundcloud.com/mouchesvolantes

De branding, waarschijnlijk een van de meest opgenomen geluiden. Maar ik heb er eigenlijk nooit een goeie opname van gemaakt. Ik reed toevallig langs het strand en besefte me dat er èn geen mensen waren èn geen wind. Een mooie gelegenheid om eens een opname te maken. Opgenomen rond 21:30u op 5 maart 2014.
