Direct mp3 download or play: New Year’s 2013
I made this recording using the same setup as in “4th of July Ambience 2012,” but used Audacity (free sound recording software) instead of VSTHost. The recording starts at around 11:55 PM, December 31st, 2012 and ends at about 12:15 AM, January 1st, 2013. I think the sound is louder and has more bass compared to last year. There is more “hiss” or white noise this time, probably due to microphone gain being somewhat too high. Then I put the recorded file into Adobe Audition, slightly amplified the audio, and put five second fades at the beginning and end. The mp3 here is 320 kilobits per second and 48 kilohertz, the highest possible quality. This is the first audio file I’ve done this way. Let me know if you have trouble playing this one.
It does seem that New Year’s is a lot like the 4th of July as far as the kind of sounds I hear. I didn’t notice any yelling of “Happy New Year” or banging pots and pans (well, maybe very faintly in the distance) as I have in the past. This post likely has typos, but I wanted to get this up and running right away. In the coming days, I’ll be attempting to correct mistakes. I know that sounds dumb, but that’s what I’m all about. Happy Fiscal Cliff… I mean New Year.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackHey Weatherman, another opportunity to make noise with the folks at Hollow Earth Radio… Here’s the details from the director:
“It’s still being formulated, but the general idea is to bring to focus the recent ‘drone’ airplanes acquired by the Seattle Police Department. Thus, we would like to do an outdoor show, possibly in Westlake Center (if permits allow) to play ‘drone’ music. We are also thinking of talking to local hardware hackers who build these drones to see if they could fly them at our event, as well as projections of aerial videos (if possible).”
If you want to get involved, let me know!
Hey David, happy new year.
I’m watching Sonic Outlaws on you tube. Where are you when they film you using the AOR scanner?
if we were marsupial. i’d live in your pouch David Wills…
If you look carefully, there is a video here somewhere of David’s pouch, I believe he refers to it as his navel. You might start with the highly controversial video where he swallows a microphone to record “Stomach Sounds”
