It's kinda funny to return to the park down the end of my street where I first tried recording the play equipment and remixing it.
The first Waipukurau Park track didn't really meet the process I've established since then though, as it used a couple of VST instruments to complete the sounds.
As you can see, this time I've overcome the limited sonic palette by incorporating
bowing a line that resonates on the slippery slide. This was another technique I learned from
Alan Lamb when we worked together as part of the
Unsound Festival in 2006.
The reverberating fences of the preschool and childcare centres also appear. Last week I mentioned to the director of the Leeton Childcare Centre that I'd been
recording the fence and she's invited me to demonstrate it to the kids next Tuesday.
