It starts out with the old musty express train about to arrive at central station, then exiting the doors and walking to the ticketing gates leading outside the station. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, Sharp Mini Disc. Train To Don Valley Toronto - This recording was the inner city leg of the trip to Don Valley which is just out of town in Toronto. I was on my way to a mountain biking track after managing to get a hire of a mountain bike, this place was insane had some really scary corners and obstacles. Train From Don Valley Toronto - This recording was made on the return leg of the trip, it also includes some traffic sounds after exiting the subway and getting something from the shop. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, Sony Mini Disc. Train From Poland To Berlin - This recording was made on the overnight express train from Krakow to Berlin. I had made a surprise visit to see a Polish girlfriend of mine on my way around the world in 2004. It was a short visit of 5 days, but I got to see quite a bit of Poland in that time including Zakopane which is a ski resort in winter but is an amazing place in summer, very high mountain views and green everywhere. The train to and from Berlin is actually quite scary, i didn't know what to expect except the stories of people being gassed by robbers in their sleep. The passport guards were coming round on my way to Poland and not knowing there was free passage was getting me quite worried as it's a bit of a random unexpected place. On my way back I had to keep my passport and wallet in my pants while I was sleeping. The recording was made as I was leaving Krakow and passing some cargo trains on the way. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, Sony Mini Disc. Arlanda Express Station Stockholm - This recording was made as I was alighting off the Arlanda Express train from the airport to Stockholm and meeting up with a friend at the station. Collecting my bags from the racks. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, IRiver H340 Mp3 Recorder / Player Schnipol Airport Amsterdam - This recording was made waiting and slouching in a seat feeling wasted after a very long walk up and down the airport having the gates changed constantly. KLM stuffed my flight so I had to wait impatiently for another one and I was upgraded to business class on my flight to Stockholm. The very hypnotic 'mind your step' walking escalator alert was very prevalent and I couldn't get it out of my head for days. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, IRiver H340 Mp3 Recorder / Player Train Platform Cars Passing Stockholm - This recording was made waiting for a suburban train in the suburbs of stockholm, the ambient noise is full of screeching cars in the background. Train Platform Distant Motorway Stockholm - Another recording with screeching ambient noise in the background. Train Platform Tunnel Stockholm - Another recording with screeching ambient noise in the background with a train passing by and voice over. Train Platform Stockholm - More subtle ambient noise, with unzipping bags and drinking water. Train Station Stockholm - This recording was made inside the train station near the ticket machines, and some buzzing machinery in the background with a very silent foreground. Train Traveling Stockholm - This recording was made traveling on the way to Stockholm from the suburbs, it was fairly noisy with buzzing transformers, fans, and buskers. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, IRiver H340 Mp3 Recorder / Player Kuala Lumpa Airport - This recording was made waiting impatiently sleep deprived for my flight back o Sydney. I had just walked the entire airport nearly trying to track down some decent food and feeling very seedy having not slept much from the previous flight. Both sides of the upstairs levels are surrounded in American junk food havens, I'm pretty sure I was forced to get some fries from Hungry jacks, and an even greater disaster was my soy hot chocolate came with whipped cream on top even though I didn't ask for it and having already asked for soy milk thought that was odd. It wasn't a nice place but it did have free internet points which you can plugin the laptop into ethernet ports, and again hypnotic sounds of the endless voice overs. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, IRiver H340 Mp3 Recorder / Player Malaysia Airlines Boarding - This recording was made boarding the plane for my flight back to Sydney after waiting hours at Kuala Lumpur airport. Everyone is boarding and loading their bags into the overhang luggage compartments, and some kooky music is being played in the background, with engines warming up. Conversation with a guy next to me, and then kooky voice overs again saying to switch off mobile phones as they are prohibited and 'thankyou for your cooperation' Malaysia Airlines In Flight - This recording was made while the plane was in flight, the nasty thing is I also end up near the wings and the microphones are pretty sensitive so should have used the line level padding due to the engine rumbles. Malaysia Airlines Turbulence - In this recording I manage to capture an episode of turbulence, It was just over the desert or mountain ranges not sure, but it made allot of trouble for the plane. Malaysia Airlines Landing Sydney Australia - In this recording we are close to landing in Sydney and the kooky promotions get turned on the video screens and everyone is excited to be getting off. Equipment Used - Soundman OKM Studio Stereo Microphones, IRiver H340 Mp3 Recorder / Player Spirit Of Tasmania Garage Port Melbourne - This recording was made in the garage of the Spirit Of Tasmania ferry waiting for a long time to finally get out. I had just come across the bass strait from a wonderful trip in Tasmania. Due to the fact the strait is very shallow because there is still land underneath connecting Tasmania to Australia, it made for some very rough seas, I literally thought the boat was going to tip at one stage, and lots of people were sick. In this recording its very loud banging industrial ambient noise, hollow metal sounds, whirring motors, lots of echo and reverb from within the garage and some whirring sounds and screeching sound from some machinery.
