I had taken the day off from work and I spent a few hours walking around Central Park making sound recordings and taking photographs. On the northwest side near the reservoir I passed by a bearded man under a tree playing a mandola, also known as the octave mandolin. Like a viola to the violin, it has a longer neck and a deeper pitch than the mandolin. Joe is his name. On his shirt he’s wearing a small pendant commemorating the Apollo moon landing on July 21, 1969. The song he plays is about another event that happened on that day in history. It’s the ballad of the outlaw Sam Bass. In the ambient background you can hear the summer birds chirping, a gust of wind, and a plane flying overhead all before Sam meets his fate.</p> <p><img alt="Joe" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2611/4110811780_73dace0916_o.jpg" width="765.3" height="500"/></p>http://sound.hudsn.org/post/246526456http://sound.hudsn.org/post/246526456Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:06:00 -0500<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fhud%2Frhys-chatham-200-guitars-crowd-and-finale-of-part-i&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?url=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fhud%2Frhys-chatham-200-guitars-crowd-and-finale-of-part-i&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p><strong>Rhys Chatham’s Crimson Grail for 200 guitars</strong></p> <p>Audio of the crowd waiting and the very end of Part I of “A Crimson Grail.” August 8 at Damrosch Park, Lincoln Center.</p> <p><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2617/3824788002_42a79128a4_o.jpg" alt="Rhys Chatham, 200 Guitars"/></p>http://sound.hudsn.org/post/164339325http://sound.hudsn.org/post/164339325Sun, 16 Aug 2009 16:14:00 -0400<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=late-june-bklyn-backyard&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=late-june-bklyn-backyard&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p><b>brooklyn. late june, 2009</b><br/>the sound of neighbors on a sunday afternoon: one does yard work, another sings along to Jay-Z, and a cop car roars by.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3565/3669086521_2e9c930627_b.jpg" border="4" width="761" height="570"/></p>http://sound.hudsn.org/post/131912657http://sound.hudsn.org/post/131912657Sun, 28 Jun 2009 18:46:00 -0400<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=crowd-at-toddps-ft-tilden-beach-bbq&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=crowd-at-toddps-ft-tilden-beach-bbq&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p>not the gentle crash of waves, not even the faint music of the brooklyn bands, but the crowd at Toddp’s unamplified BBQ on the beach at <a target="_blank" href="http://nymag.com/guides/summer/12125/">Fort Tilden</a>, where the local law enforcement authorities took special interest in our gathering.</p> <p><img alt="the crowd" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3394/3628045450_60c26cb77c_b.jpg" border="4" width="739" height="553"/></p>http://sound.hudsn.org/post/123774883http://sound.hudsn.org/post/123774883Mon, 15 Jun 2009 01:09:00 -0400<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=the-feast-of-san-gennaro&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=7b7c78" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=the-feast-of-san-gennaro&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p>A walk down Mulberry Street during a street fair</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3587/3568630259_4d26b3d189.jpg" border="4" width="738" height="500"/></p>http://sound.hudsn.org/post/113614706http://sound.hudsn.org/post/113614706Wed, 27 May 2009 00:47:00 -0400<object height="81" width="100%"> <param name="movie" value="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=clermont-ave-walk-may-18&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed allowscriptaccess="always" height="81" src="http://player.soundcloud.com/player.swf?track=clermont-ave-walk-may-18&show_comments=true&auto_play=false&color=fffc6d" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="100%"></embed></object> <br/><br/><p><img src="http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/84268/1234921823706.jpg" border="4" width="543" height="404"/><br/>the measure of a block and the tempo of my walk home along Clermont Avenue.
