Before the dawn of The Overnightscape in 2003, I used to make random recordings in NYC all the time. The idea was to capture interesting audio that I could use in my Internet radio project at the time, Bluffcosm.com.

The “City Cassette” series contains these recordings, one cassette per release. They will not be in chronological order, because I don’t think it matters that much.

This first cassette in the series contains a lot of interesting stuff, including some of my thoughts on the future of Internet radio, lots of sounds from the subway system, a visit to an old place of work, and a whole lot more. A good portion of it is “ambient sound”, rather than me talking.

Here is how the tape is labeled: Side A: “1/31/01 – 2/14/01 NYC Audio”. Side B: “2/16/01 – 2/22/01 NYC D&A Snow / Subway Crowd”

Recorded in Times Square, NYC on 6/11/07. Originally released on StationUnlimited.com (release #74, June 19, 2007).
——————————
On Monday, June 11, 2007 I was walking through Times Square in NYC and I saw a street fair called “Taste of Times Square”. Iwent went for 2 blocks on 46th St. from Times Square to 9th Ave. I walked the full length of it and realized it would make a great “Place Sounds” piece (a recording of an audio environment). So I started recording and heading back through the fair.

Unfortunately, things didn’t work out like I planned. First of all a lot of the musicians I had seen on the first walk thru were taking their breaks. Then it started to rain… lightly at first and then it turned into a real downpour. And then I realized I had pressed pause by accident and lost a lot of the stuff I was recording.

This piece is the final result – the first in the “Place Sounds” series. I look forward to recording more “Place Sounds” in the future – it is certainly a different kind of audio content than what people are used to, but in the right frame of mind such stuff can be very enjoyable and intriguing to listen to.
