I'm not sure how this is possible, but Ben Meyers (hugio55), the creator of this video, is being marked as spam commenting on his own creation! He was responding to my comment about the nature of the recording, and he said, "@BrunoBolisarte thank you! You are 100% correct."
As a recording engineer and musician, I have to counter SaltyTank07's comments about the sounds being overproduced. I don't hear any hints of production in this beyond a little basic EQ, and it's likely he edited this together in video editing software with little to no audio sweetening capabilities.
The palm trees in particular sound very natural and not "woody' to my ear.
This video would have been much much better if the sounds were natural and not edited so heavily after the fact. I highly doubt those cement squares make those perfect tones like that. If they did, it says a whole lot about the structural integrity of the building.
In addition, if you live in SoCal you probably see palm trees just like the ones featured in this video. I challenge anyone to strike one with the same type of instrument (xylophone type mallet) and see what you get.
Hi Ben--I showed your video in a class I'm teaching on theories of space--like public space, urban space, etc. Thought your vid was a great way to illustrate some of the ideas we've been talking about. Like, about transforming space and way we use it--like maybe looking at all space as a potential soundscape! Way to transform the space! Very cool!
how did you film this? its really well filmed, what camera do you have?
