Part of my "Aeolian Harp" pack.

An interior domestic soundscape, with an aeolian harp playing in the wind. The aeolian harp sits in a windowsill with the breeze coming in through the window.

The aeolian harp is a prototype that I have made. It's constructed of maple plywood and mahogany, and has nylon strings tuned in unison to G3.

This has been edited, with various cuts crossfaded due to wind noise that I had not accounted for.

Featuring:

• wind in trees outside, rustling bushes and leaves
• sounds of human activity inside and outside, including shuffling of drawing pencils in a case
• metallic chimes being rattled inside
• a dog walker, barking dog, pedestrians passing engaged in conversation
• a far-off siren
• passing cars

Recorder: Sony PCM-D50, 90-degree mic pattern, no wind sleeve.
