about

as a field recordist not only do you discover fascinating sounds, but you are also regularly given instances of how you, and what you are doing, are regarded by others. it is very interesting how this differs from place to place. currently security paranoia is a major issue; certain countries will allow recordings that in others would result in arrest or searches under anti terrorism laws (the latter has happened to me several times in the UK).

the Czech Republic is a joy in this respect. these recording are contact mic recordings of rails as trains run at speed over them. i was completely undisturbed while making them. people in Prague often walk beside tracks and cross them at any point if need be. a railway employee even suggested that we go inside the tunnel in full view of the main station to record there. it sounded great.

rail contact trains – the internal sound of a rail track as two train pass by. the first is actually on the adjacent track so is transfered sound from 10metres away. the second is on the same track that the mic is attached to.
