About the Project
We're hoping to collect as many audio recordings from as many different locations as possible recorded on the day our kid cometh. Something s/he can look back on in 20 years to hear the sound of the world on the day they arrived in it.
You don't need to be a recording engineer and it doesn't need to be anything magical — it can be anything at all. The sounds from your porch or the TV in your room or your trip to work or your brother's soccer game or sweetheart's snoring or whatevers. We'd actually prefer it to be more 'day in the life' than 'this really interesting sounding thing near my house' but whatever works.
Any recording device will do. Cell phone, cassette recorder, video camera, computer mic, dictaphone, something fancy - we don't care. 30 seconds or 2 hours, length is up to you. We'll help you get it on the site. If you need help getting a device or help on how to use yours, please ask.
You can upload recordings or you can mail a physical cd, cassette, video, whatevers. This site will host a list of all of the recordings as they come in so everyone can hear them.
If you have any questions, please ask
Thank you so much. If you feel like, please let other folks know about the project. The more the merrier.
