Istanbul soundwalks

By jgrzinich | Published: November 10, 2009
On a recent visit to Istanbul I recorded several ’soundwalks’ through the cityscape. The recordings were made with a discreet pair of self-made binaural mics (panasonic wm-61a capsules) on a Sony PCM-D50. What becomes clear is that moving through space (as opposed to a stationary recording position) reveals just how diverse the spaces are in [...]

subterranean soviet silos

By jgrzinich | Published: June 15, 2009
I finally managed to visit a curious location in a forest in south Estonia and discovered that it indeed was one of the former soviet nuclear missile silos. As I’ve seen, most missile bases were mobile launching pads for missiles that were stored on trucks in bunkers. In this location the missiles were actually stored [...]

There are plans to convert the [...]

hydrophone recording #2

By jgrzinich | Published: May 25, 2009
This is a great hydrophone recording I made last week in the local Mooste lake. The sun was shining brightly so the plants were giving off plenty of oxygen. There are also a number of sqeaks and buzzes I cannot yet identify. The hydrophone is made by the avid field recordist Jez riley French who [...]
