Empty Dumpster Sounds

dumpster_hitchI recorded some sounds from this giant dumpster in the alley behind my house. It’s there so my neighbor and I can dispose of some construction waste that will not be taken away by the city, including wood posts stuck in cement that I dug up while replacing old decaying fencing.

At the time the dumpster was almost completely empty allowing it to resonate for an extended period of time. If I get a chance I will make some more recordings of this metal behemoth.

  2. Super effective, resonant, and evocative samples. A symphony of rust, indeed. Nicely done – great potential for further sound design!
