I was missing you Tumblr. After 2 weeks of exploring it is nice to be back. Downloading sounds and listening what I made.
#38. Bulgaria, Varna, Roma violinist in subway near train station.
I asked: “Where are you from” - “from Bucharest, but I don’t have a home. I have a ticket to Sofia. I will be in Sofia in 2 days.”
Isle of Dogs, Dawn Chorus part 2.
After some half an hour warm up in bed I started recording again. This time more birds and song more vivid. Luckily, there were no planes above. However, constant noise from printing works was still in the background.
Russia
Crack, hiss and pops of a traditional wood burning stove recorded on a December night in Sergiyev Posad, Kozya Gorka area.
#37. Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur. A very busy street and Malaysian pop-music from shop’s speakers.
The Quietest Place on Earth Will Drive You Insane Within 45 Minutes
There’s a small room in Minnesota that blocks out 99% of all external sound. That’s an impressive number! Also impressive: nobody can take more than 45 minutes alone in the room before they go nuts.The Daily Mail describes Orfield Labs’ anechoic chamber—perfect for making extremely sensitive audio measurements. But also perfect for sending you into a hallucinatory hell so hellacious you’ll need a chair:
‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You’ll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly. ‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’ And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must. He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don’t have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you’re in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’

Dawn Chorus - Isle of Dogs - part 1.
This is the first bird singing. It was around 4am (no planes above). You’ll hear only song of one alone bird and roar of the city in the background: a factory printing today’s newspaper The Daily Mail (probably) and sound of many chillers, boilers and air conditioning devices.
