about

With our return to Wellington imminent, I took to the streets of the Southern capital armed with my ageing Hi-MD, a brand new Sony PCM-D50, and a pair of Soundman stealth binaural mics.

My goal was to create an audio record of my time here - time spent discovering new places, with new friends, and being a tourist.

Our Dutch friends Will and Gert were visiting so I grabbed the opportunity to become a tourist and see the sights again, before Dunedin became just another distant memory.

Many hours of samples were recorded then painstakingly edited down to create a usable Found Sound sample library. Sequencing was done in Ableton Live 7 with the aid of a Korg PadKontrol, then the set was optimised for live performance and mixed live using two Faderfoxes for hands-on control.

This mix was first aired at Angry Rabbit's 'Apropos of Nothing' release gig and was the usual blur of sleep deprivation, loud beats and extreme bass. The downloadable version available here was mixed live from the relative calm of my King Edward Court studio, a couple of months later.
