Passing Sounds

Sirens

| 0 comments

As an experiment I made a collage of video and sound. Video was recorded in Shoeburyness on a windy day in the time of low tide. During my walk I heard blowy, whistling sounds, that were coming from metal barriers near the sea. When I came closer it turned out that there were holes in pipes, which turned the construction in a flute-like instrument for wind, reminding the singing of the sirens ( not that I have ever heard one). The sound quality was bad on my phone, so I’ve decided to come back there few weeks later with field recorder.

It was a high tide this time, therefore the sound of the pipes is accompanied by the waves, some bottles under my feet and few passersby.
