Direct MP3 Download

On this sound collage, I took a page from youarelistening.to and combined ambient music tracks with local scanner recordings.

Ambient music tracks used include Wolkenreise by Eroc, Missing by Everything But the Girl, Cat People by unknown, The Dining Rooms by M. Dupont, Autumn Hill by unknown, Small Memory by unknown, Neurotransmitter by Carbon-Based Life Forms, Cut Up Piano and Xylophone by Fridge. Not in that particular order, though.

Scanner recordings captured by my Uniden BCD536HP Bearcat.

Super Awesome Fun Time With Rand 43: Outside Again

A sound collage that combines Aphex Twin and Boards of Canada with outside ambient recordings from the BBC Sound Effects Library, as well as field recordings from 12 Gates to the City via Internet Archive, with local scanner recordings scattered throughout.

The idea was to replicate what YouAreListeningTo does, that is, combine scanner audio with ambient music. The results turned out much differently, as tends to be the case with these sound collages.
