For anyone interested in sound and sound recordings
It is not every day when I am free from traffic noise. But when it happens it is possible to notice other small sounds in the surroundings.
That happened in beginning of June 2012 when I was at Krossholt at Barðastönd, in the northwest of Iceland.
One night someone was playing loud music in the neighborhood. The rumbling bass beat was noticeable all night along. During the night the wind started to blow from east with strong gusts. Suddenly nearby power line started to give a strange sound and the niggling beat from the neighborhood started to be interesting. In combination with the wind, power line, birdsong from the field and nearby cliff it started to be like a music from other planet. In fact it was a really interesting composition. Better than many modern human made compositions today. The intro is more than two minutes long, so just lay back in your chair, relax and listen.
High quality headphones are recommended.
