One Creative Thing A Day



So this should be interesting. Right now you should be hearing three stereo contact mic recordings playing back simultaneously. Hmm, how’s it sound? I bought a couple contact mics over the internet recently and tonight was the first time I was able to test them out. I used two contact mics for each recording. One as the left speaker and one as the right.
The first thing I thought of to record was of course my refrigerator. Sometimes it makes the strangest sounds- (I was actually a little disappointed with it’s performance tonight, usually its much more strange sounding). The second thing I recorded was my creaky wood flooring. I taped each of them down and creeped around them in my socks. That sounded pretty good but I kept getting some kind of electrical interference. Lastly, I recorded these wonderful 1950′s metal outdoor chairs which I think have to be the most resonant thing my wife and I own. I tried all sorts of things but mostly I brushed my finger across the surface. That was my favorite recording of the three.
Feel free to turn off a couple of the sounds to hear them separately. Try out some headphones, they might sound better.
