Ashley Elsdon: Recordings

I find the sound of this very soothing, so I thought I would share it with you.

A recording of part of the trip to Bristol

This was a trip on the number 36 bus to Paddington. The heater in the bus was really noisy, so of course I recorded it.

Standing under a shelter in some heavy rain

I have edited together a handful of recordings I made whilst staying in a treehouse in Sussex called the Buzzardry. The collage begins near water and you can hear a family walking nearby.

It continues with a selection of other water recordings followed by a longer section where I put my Zoom H2N on a table and just let it record for while.

I especially like the part where a bee decides to investigate the recorder, and of course the ducks who make their presence known throughout.

I had some professional cleaners in to deep clean a property. I arrived just before they were finished and quite liked the sound that the cleaner made.

Last night / this morning we had a huge storm. If you're in the south of england then you probably heard it too. The lightening was going every few seconds and the thunder was almost constant. It kept me awake so I thought I would record it.

The image I used was one of the lightening flashes around 1am. It lit up the entire sky.

Another recycling centre recording

Recycling my stuff so I thought I would make a little recording of the trip
