Re: [microsound] sailing (and other) sounds



Speaking of sailing sounds, there is a volume within the "Environments" series (http://antiquarianfuture.com/lists/ environlp.html) called "Wood-Masted Sailboat". Maybe it features some of the sounds you're looking for. Actually it is considered to be a highlight of that vintage series of field-recordings. If anyone has got a rip from this record (apparently it does not exist on CD) I'd be glad about contacting me offlist.

What about high-quality field recordings in general, apart from the astonishing releases by Chris Watson on touch?

Any suggestions?



Best wishes -
Chris

Hi
i'm fond of sailing and there's a particular sound which is incredible. in big regatta boats the jib is hauled (i think this is the way of saying) by sheets that when the sail is regulated make an incredible sound which is a little bit like a WROOOOAR, a very low and powerful sound that resonates
all around and also at a distance.
this is because sheets are ropes that have to keep incredible loads: sails can be 400-500 square metre big and if the wind is good you can imagine the power of this natural 'engine'. the amazing thing is that sounds are in the
middle of the sea and there is almost absolute silence...

the question is: anyone knows where sailing sounds can be found?
thanks in advance
eva
