Sound Diary


My pet cat, Hollywood, purring.   Recorded October 5th with an Edirol by Roland v. 2.0 R-09HR at 44.1 HZ.  I found this cat on my door step in July just before I move into my new house.  He was under a pound and looked very sick.  He is very smart cat and expressive vocally.  He makes sounds that I have never heard from a cat before.  This recording is of him purring only because it was easier to record him while he was calm.  I do intend to record his other sounds eventually.  All sounds were edited in garage band.  The "videos" were edited in Final Cut Pro.


My new land line telephone ringing.  Recorded October 5 and 6 with an Edirol by Roland v. 2.0 R-09HR at 44.1 HZ.  The recording you hear is the one taken on the 6th.  I put the recorder under a plastic bowl.  I did this to try and mute the sound a bit because the initial recording did not represent the sound close enough to how I hear it in reality. 



My dishwasher washing.   Recorded September 22th with an Edirol by Roland v. 2.0 R-09HR at 44.1 HZ.  Water is a very soothing sound and sometimes if the dishes are arranged a certain way you can hear them clanking against each other.  This also causes a repetitive percussive sound.



Radio waves my walk man picked up while driving by the construction on Fry and Hickory street.  Recorded Sept 19 with an Edirol by Roland v. 2.0 R-09HR at 44.1 HZ.  The tape player in my truck is broken but the tape adapter works.  I like listening to tapes and I own a lot of them so I was pretty upset when that happened.  This is why I have my walk man hooked up to the stereo.  When I was driving to school one day, while I passed the construction, I had major interference.  I already enjoy the sound that cell phones make when interfering with the computer so I was very happy when this happened.
