Playground magic



Been revisiting my recordings of Leeton playgrounds and remixing them again but this recording seemed interesting enough without treatment. My plan is to screen a short presentation in a couple of parks this July to mark the anniversary of the For 100 Years album, the closing of town's centenary and to collect together new material that will appear on the DVD I'm finally going to finish.

This recording was made at Gossamer Park, which benefits from being one of the last parks I recorded. I used two types of piezo contact microphone, on the left channel is my homemade one and on the right is the cheap clamp-on variety. There's a little EQ but otherwise no further production.

Below is the mastered version, which sounds massive.
