Hey folks,
I just wanted to post a bit of a request. I am quite busy at work these days and I am looking for some inspiration. I am based in NYC these days and I would love hear from you! I’m wondering if there are locations or specific sounds you would like to hear on the blog? I’m essentially taking requests so drop me a line in the comments, and I’ll try and get your requests on the blog.
Best,
Michael

Mountain Lake Biological Station
This post comes from Stephen Vitiello who has been spending time at the Mountain Lake Biological Station in Pembroke, VA: I was tipped off to some sounds to listen for – juvenile barred owls, calling after sunset. I left a pair of DPA 4060s in a tree over night and captured some call and response and a moment of rain.

One of the things I love about long holiday weekends is that most of my neighbors head out of town. Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend here in the states, and in terms of noise, that means quiet.

This recording is from day
The highline; something I’ve been meaning to get sounds of for a long time, maybe you can beat me to it (?)
Specific to NYC, the sounds of transit and the city’s people are some of its most interesting signatures. It would be fun to hear more of that! Alternatively, its working waterfront or grittier side is always interesting as an alternative to the pop-culture side of NYC we out-of-towners expect…look forward to hearing more soon! (If you have any San Francisco sonic requests yourself, drop me a line. :-p)
Hi Michael, did you get my message i sent you last week? I’m after interesting NY atmos sounds (exactly the sort of things that are mentioned in the other comments) to use in a film I’m working on. Not sure if you prefer to trade or sell your recordings but please let us know if you’re interested and can help. Thanks
I’d like to hear the distant city sounds recorded from all 4 sides the Empire State Building’s open-air 86th floor rooftop…preferably near closing time with minimal people around (during the week if possible)!
Could you capture impulse responses inside the Statue of Liberty? I heard you can make an appointment to get up to the crown observation windows now.
