about: A field recording of a house being built across the road. I recorded an hour every Tuesday morning (at about 10:00 am) for 28 weeks. Each week provides - I think - 20 secs of both background and individual spot sound. The background was developed by taking a representative sample from that week, taking the FFT randomising the phase, then taking the IFFT, to give a noise sample that represented the spectrum (but not the dynamical structure) of that week. This was then convolved with representative sound of whatever the activity of that week was.
Overlaid on top of that are spot sounds that seemed to me to represent the normal sounds of that week.
The density of the sounds is determined by a drawing the builder made of the activity cycle across the entire building period.
