Rain during small hours, torrential at times, with city seagulls at times, and, during the final half-hour, the odd blackbirds starting up as dawn approaches.
This is a condensation of an all-night rainfall event, recorded from my bedroom window (second floor) in the city centre, Exeter, Devon, UK, in the night of 10–11 June 2020. As usual I had to cut out a lot because of normal city centre disturbances.
Advisory:
For the most realistic rendition, the playing volume needs to be increased by 3dB above a normal sensible level for realistic rendition of symphonic orchestral music.
Techie stuff:
The recorder was a Sony PCM-D100, with two nested custom Windcut furry windshields, placed on a Velbon mini tripod on my bedroom window sill.
Post-recording processing was to apply EQ in Audacity to correct for the muffling effect of the windshields.
Please remember to give this recording a rating — Thank you!
