Sound Four: Salt Mountain


Now completely away from the beach I entered an industrial landscape. One of the companies was involved with salt so they had a huge salt mountain nearby that stood about 2-3 stories high. To contain all this salt they had a large tarp covering the top 2/3 of the mountain. I set my mics up on a nearby metal street sign. The first I pointed directly over at the mountain while the second was places on the top of the sign and tilted over so that it was pointed more towards the top of the mountain. At the beginning of the recording you can hear what almost seems to be music. This is in fact the "song" of the machinery of a nearby factory. Towards the end of the recording is where I captured something pretty neat. The salt mountain had an avalanche of sorts with a large amount of salt falling from the top against the tarp and down to the ground near me.
