Wind Moves Metal on an Abandoned Truck

A GMC cable tool Sterdrill Keystone USA (1953) - I found one rusting away in a fjord in Iceland and attached a LOM Geofon and Stille and Klang contact microphones.

The results were varying textured breezes moving long grass and decaying loose metal to create rustling, scratching sounds, resonant knocks and also insect and gnawing rodent like sounds.

ABOUT THESE AUDIO FILES

These recordings are as close to their original recorded state as possible.

On occasions some recordings might have minimal repair work using Izotope RX advanced. Also on occasion I may use an EQ to roll off any unwanted bottom end frequencies or top end frequencies to remove hiss if present.

These recordings may have had minimal eq processing to help individual tracks sit better together.

LISTENING LEVELS

These are ambient recordings, intended for use as atmospheric background audio in your project, so it is recommended that you listen to them on a low to medium level on good quality headphones or speakers.

Raising the volume level too high may reveal a small amount of hiss in the recording as a consequence of making the noise floor in the recording more audible.

IMPORTANT : In these recordings there may be some periods of quiet audio and some moments of contrasting loud peaks, so please keep this in mind before cranking up your speakers (or even worse, your headphones).
