I’ve added one more clip from my concert (clip 4 in the box). it’s the most dramatic and loudest part.
the first sound is this nice chord-like sound I got under the I-44 bridge (I think it’s a distant train whistle), which is the only instance of real harmony in my entire piece, the only sound i pitch-shifted, and the only one i repeated. the rest of the clip is freight trains – one from Kingston, NY (recorded for Maryanne’s class a couple years ago, where we had a little run-in with the cops), one from my hometown in Eureka, and the loudest one is huge double-decker I recorded from the platform of a Metrolink stop in downtown St. Louis.
try to imagine it in five channels, with trains coming from every direction and a lot of bass…
