Ok, this is quite a simple test with me hitting a slinky attached to my cheap electric guitar.  Got some vintage style laser gun-ish sounds out from it, will mount the slinky on a metal plate and attach a contact microphone on that as next step, the result will hopefully turn out a bit better. Until then enjoy the first springy laser guns!

Sample 1: Bright

Sample 2: Dark

My last recording before I leave my hometown Ystad. 

Everynight 365 days a year from 9.15 pm to 1 am the tower watchman in St Marys Church blows his horn every 15 minutes to signal that everything is calm in the city (i.e. “nothing to worry about, continue sleeping”). It is a tradition from the 17th century and yes, it is a real person sitting up there in the tower blowing a huge horn!

The church itself has been founded  around year 1200. It was destroyed by a storm and rebuilt in the middle of 17th century.  

Recorded at 1 am, just outside the curch.

I found a great hydrophone on Ebay and this is the first time I have tested it out in the field. Recorded from a small pier in Ystad, Östersjön (Baltic Sea).


Recorded this yesterday with my friend Lars on the beach in my hometown Ystad, Sweden. Holiday!!

Remember to listen with headphones!

Had to catch an early flight to Copenhagen from Gatwick Airport.

Airports are funny places, people walking around in their summer clothes shopping alcohol, parfume and clothes at 7 in the morning! Time stands still in airports still people are constantly looking at their watches!


Can’t remember what animal they are all laughing at, think it’s a funny looking small monkey.

Colchester Zoo is a great place by the way, it’s huge!

Went past the Trocadero house at Picadilly Circus the other day and popped in to the Funland arcade for some recording. The soundscape in there is pretty wild..so enjoy!

Remember to put your headphones on!

After some really nice weather the rain came back to London accompanied by some nice thunder. I borrowed my girlfriends very small umbrella and got soaking wet, but well worth it…listen to the massive thunder crack at 00:58! Neither me or the built in auto limiter on my recorder was really prepared for it…

Remember to listen with headphones for true binaural experience.

Have a nice summer!


A loop created off recordings with a electro magnetic pickup. I sampled the nosie from various TVs and Digibeta machines at work and added EQ, reverb and some compression.
