“Atmospheres” are common to all field recording. Sometimes referred to as “atmos” or “wild-tracks” they provide a context to a recording. “atmospheres” are barely noticed but they are, nevertheless, an integral part of the programme sound.

Poundland Ipswich opening fun day
Poundland have taken over the old Woolworth’s store in Ipswich at the end of Spetember, and held a Family Fun Day today. I hven’t worked out what the family fun was meant to be apart from getting people to throng to buy poorly made tools, tat and thneeds but it certainly caused a massive queue so at least Mr Poundland was having a fun day.
A long queue snaked past the tills, the hubbub was really quite remarkable. I don’t recall seeing this many people in Woolies.

Poundland Fun Day queues Some more rich pickings from the 6th Oct, the Halloween displays are in full swing, and a minute of classy comments 🙂 A bunch of teenage girls are looking to spice up their costumes, one teenage boy charges his mate with looking like a woman in that, and a lady desperately trying to get someone of a mobile phone to erase her messages, all in the space of a minute.

Caerlaverock morning
I went to WWT Caerlaverock with the Wildlife Sound Recording society, a great opportunity to get some species sounds. This was at 7am in the Avenue hide, with the rooks playing bass and teal giving the lovely ringing counterpoint.
Caerlaverock specialises in waterfowl, of which there were many

Echoey railway bridge, Suffolk
I was recording the bees under this bridge when this family walked through the bridge. It’s hard to resist testing out the echo here 🙂
