Various sound installations at Tate Modern…and book shop raid.

Not an option to shift the sit stand desk I have at home to every cutting room I work in, so I’ve decided to give this @vivo_us desk riser a go as a portable solution. So far so good! 🤞🏼

Recording trip to rural Berkshire for the ‘Sports Crowd’ collection. Untold amounts of group ‘oohs!’, ‘aahs!’ and ‘yays!’ to now go through and edit. First proper run out of the new Lom mics in stealth mode too so looking forward to checking out the results…I’ll get them added to the collection pronto. ⚽️ 🥅🎤

Interesting app and blog by @soundprintapp highlighting decibel levels at various venues around the world, with data provided by users’ phone recordings. I think it’s principally aimed at those with hearing loss but also useful for those simply looking for a good ambience conducive to conversation wherever they choose to eat and drink. 👍🏼

New recording location for exterior crowd adr: @hrangersjfc (now that @hamrichfc not an option). Great space to record in, all the facilities you need for the loop group and a friendly club to deal with. Bird noise picked up a fair bit later in the afternoon but I might just take a starter pistol next time so I don’t have to do my scarecrow impression again. 😂. Also strongly recommend @soundarkstudios for location recording duties.

First recording in a while! Short trip to Brighton for some beach and people sounds for the film I’m currently working on (and some of the Club collections while I’m at it). ‘Land of the Weirdos’ as the film calls it. 😂 Well not weird enough I’d say as I was also hoping to get some good drunk shouts last night - stayed in a busy area deliberately so I could just stick my mic out the window when it got rowdy late last night - but the streets seemed dead. Guess everyone’s saving themselves for tonight. At least one person enjoyed themselves last night though, judging by their vom over the front gate of my accommodation as I left this morning. Classy Brighton! 😂

Many thanks to @zsllondonzoo for letting me, @soundarkstudios and @philleeaudio come into their ‘live food’ section to record their bugs today. Must admit I thoroughly checked my bag for stowaways when I got home!
