Less Water Over the Dam

squiggleIn contrast to the last entry, here’s the same Mississippi river water flowing out from a different part of the same dam. Obviously the frequency is much lower as well as the amplitude.

I actually boosted the volume considerably after using the same level settings as the previous recording.

More Dam(n) Noise

  2. the weird thing about these recordings is that while they’re almost indistinguishable from white noise, there’s a very distinct sense of stereo space that is nothing like two channels of white noise. I don’t even know how you’d quantify this but it would be interesting to convert it to mid/side and see what the difference signal sounds like.

  3. @kent What I should really do is go back there with my binaurals and rotate 360 degrees while recording.
