This work is inspired by Jacob Kirkegaard's "sonic time layering". I recorded 3:30 minutes of ambient sound in my dining room and then played the recording back into the room, while at the same time recording it again. This process was repeated about ten times. As the layers got denser, the dining room slowly began to unfold a drone with various overtones.The sounds you hear is: Traffic from the nearby road.Children whistling 0:10-0:20People in the apartment upstairs who rumble about doing their daily buisness.church bells from the nearby chatolic church about 1:50-2:50Technical stuff: Recorded using.Electrovoice RE10 (microphone)Terratec Phase x24 fw (soundcard)Dali concept 1 (speaker)From a technical point of view, Kirkegaard's "sonic time layering" refers back to Alvin Lucier's work "I am sitting in a room" [1970]. Lucier recorded his voice in a space and repeatedly played this recording back into that same space. In this work, however, no voice is being projected into the rooms

Good ideas, if you send out white noise you can build up the drone quickly. So I guess altering the pitch of the playback will simply revert back to the rooms eigen resonance.
A stereo recording would probably also be a good idea for future development, or simply just change the room.

I can only imagine there are other techniques that more advanced beings in our galaxy are doing using different types of technologies to record and manipulate sound recordings. Forgive me for posting much here but your recording idea was pretty new to me so I took advantage of that force. : )

what if you used two microphones to re-record? a couple of other demensions are playing the recording backwards and re-recording that, also pitching it up or down and re-recording that. Also try the same exact procedure with different temperatures and noticing the slight differences with that. I believe that temperature alters sound dispersment, obviously humidity or air density. Try using a humidifier and putting the air conditioner full blast, or heater. There's many possibilities with sound. Subtle rapid molecular re-arrangement.

wow, I cant belive you got that sound just by playing back the atmos in the the room a few times!
