Thunder... Ambience and I like Olive Loaf

uncommon ambience ·

2024/06/15

June Mid-Atlantic Thunderstorm Ambience — Rain and thunder; the best. As far as the description goes, it's a thunderstorm. I've been thinking of Olive Loaf lately. As a kid, I enjoyed this peculiar cold cut. It was distinct from the bologna sandwiches our parents forced us to eat (every day). The cold cut section of the grocery stores had two options: bologna and off-brand bologna. Oh, and head cheese (don't Ask Jeeves). And American cheese. That was it. Today, my kids bring leftover

Caddyshack Early AM Groundskeeping... Ambience

2024/06/09

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies, Caddyshack. Country club early morning ambience. You are amongst the well-kept grounds, and here is the sun peaking over the area flora. Water is hurling spastically. The birds are turbo-charged. Off in the distance, someone is tending to the greens of Hole 6. This week’s episode focuses on the first forty-five seconds of Caddyshack. Before the mayhem and the gopher. Before Kenny Loggin’s guitar. Caddyshack opens with a brief moment of intoxicating calm. A sea of

Uneventful Flight with a Game Boy... Ambience

2024/06/02

Chill commercial flight and Game Boy ambience—Gen X kids were often left home alone — we were also occasionally thrust unattended onto planes to navigate Laguardia or Atlanta alone. Back in my day, we didn't have the whole internet in hand for a commercial flight. The most exciting things to do were staring out the window for a few hours, possibly picking up the Airfone, and hoping a friend would accept the pricey call. "I'm on a plane. Can you believe it?!" Once I had to travel

A Cat Sleeps in the Corner of a T-shirt Shop... Ambience

uncommon ambience ·

2024/05/27

The corner of a t-shirt shop where a cat sleeps and an oscillating fan blows around warm spring air. The kind of t-shirts in this shop are what humans buy while on vacation but don't wear while on vacation. You wouldn't wear an Edgartown shirt while in Edgartown, after all. Or a Vermont shirt while in the Green Mountain State. I never see anyone wearing "visit historic Leesburg" while in Leesburg. No, these are shirts to wear to the gym or while mowing the lawn in Oxnard or

Return of the Mid-Atlantic Thunderstorms... Ambience

uncommon ambience ·

2024/05/24

May Thunderstorm: So this is a thunderstorm that just traveled over our neighborhood. As I have said before, it doesn't matter what sounds I plan to do for the week. If there is a thunderstorm, I drop everything, grab the mic, and cross my fingers for a good record. Last year, I tried to document the entire sounds of the tropical storm that passed through our area. There were hours and hours of rain, and I was positive it would produce some stellar sounds. And then a cricket appeared in hour

Biff Tannen's Pleasure Palace Hotel and Casino......

2024/05/19

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies, Back to the Future 2. This episode takes place in an alternate timeline: Biff 1985. Where we will enjoy the sullen symphony of carnage, lust, and poor life choices just outside the Biff Tannen Pleasure Paradise Hotel And Casino. It's a doozy. Minus Sammy Hagar. Also, minus bullets and explosions. There were plenty in Biff 1985; there's also plenty in our modern world. So I left out the ordinances. IE: don't worry about any hidden jump scares or

Shawshank Redemption Tree... Ambience

2024/05/12

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies this week, finds us (ostensibly) in Maine — I'm pretty sure most of the film was shot in the Rust Belt. But for the sake of continuity we will be in a Maine hayfield with a rock and a bird that do not belong. And look! Here comes Red. Ellis Redding, "Red," searches among a hayfield for a mystery. In a place that looks "right out of a Robert Frost poem" (shot in Ohio). He searches for obsidian. There is a bird that also has no earthly

The Perfect Storm's Widow's Walk... Ambience

2024/05/05

Anticipating a Giant Storm at a Coastal Bar — "They're out on the Flemish Cap. I got it straight from Big Bob Brown." This episode expands upon a scene from the film The Perfect Storm. Eight hours of an uncrowded Gloucester-esque bar being boarded up amongst the gales whipping up from the harbor. It will be the perfect storm, unfortunately. Speaking of which — If you were to ever visit North Eastern Massachusetts and ask a local a question about something North Eastern Massachusetts

Field of Dreams Fenway… Ambience

uncommon ambience ·

2024/04/27

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies; Field of Dreams (1989) ambience — Field of Dreams fits in well with the other weird baseball fantasies we love. Casey at the Bat, the figment of Doubleday field, and the wonderfully strange the Natural. The book version has zero redemption by way of smashed outfield lights. Just a baseball Superman shackled by fate, circumstance, and stupidity. Only, Roy Hobbs strikes out. And then he punches a dude.Field of Dreams is baseball magic and forced Americana (hot dogs,

The Birds are Back, Baby... Ambience

2024/04/18

Birds and backyard ambience — as spring descends upon the Piedmont, so do the birds. And they were chatty this morning, so I stuck my microphone out the window. That's about all there is to say — Oh, stay away from Jimmy Connors tennis on the Atari Lynx. I found it cheap on eBay and decided what the heck. Watching Jimmy Connors in the early 90s at the US Open was fun. I thought that maybe his namesake handheld lynx game might that all over the tennis court rackets blazing fun? It doesn't

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies—Blade Runner outdoor noodle establishment ambience. Eight hours of sound inspired by the scene where Rick Deckard gets something to eat before being "arrested" by Gaff.The Ritz at the Bourse, my favorite movie theater in Philadelphia, showed a rerelease of the 1982 film while my fiancé was in town. This was about 14 years ago—and it was either the Final Final Cut or the Pre-Final Cut before the Final Final Cut. I'm not sure. Either way, there were

2024/03/31

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies—Vintage newsroom ambience. I've worked in large newsrooms, though none had operating typewriters. There were relics in our office, all of which were reduced to desk tchotchkes. The owners wanted to remind us that they wielded them for producing news, not like us fancy laptop people with quiet plastic keys. Anyway, this movie-flavored ambience episode reproduces⁠ the newsroom scene⁠ where both Woodward (played by Robert Redford) and Bernstein (played by

Wargames (the movie) Missileer Bunker... Ambeince

uncommon ambience ·

2024/03/26

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies, we are adding a new type of ambience this week. Themed ambience, based on the ⁠opening scenes of the 1983 film Wargames⁠. This is a recreation of the hours preceding the Snyder and Phelps shift that ended quickly with a gun over a key-turn. I watched the film on the Home Box Office in 1984 (40 years ago) — and holy ****, the open still messes with me. But not to worry there isn't angst in this episode. This is the Tucker/ Bevan shift, and Bevan is a

Bowling Ambience — This was recorded near the ball return of the dark lane on a decently attended Wednesday.And I don't know about you, but I keep getting fed bowling memes on social media. There is always some dude staring in a direction, then a bowling mishap plays, the dude reacts in a banal sorta' way before looking to a new place, and then we get a new ****** bowling mishap. This **** has been done—feed me more videos of bulldogs screaming. In any case... We're in the bowling

Retro Arcade Ambience — So picture this, your parents drop you off at the mall with five bucks, "we'll pick you up 10." Mom and Dad have a date night — and they're not playing around; they are going to the Red Lobster. Dad messed up, and now he's going to be paying for ****** lobster. The mall entrance is all glass and guarded by teenagers smoking cigarettes. "The **** you looking at, kid?" "I ain't looking at nothin’," You mutter as you hurdle

Cozy fire and rain ambience — You booked your Bennington Bed and Breakfast just below the towering Battle Monument. You promised your partner it would be perfect. Hit a few trails on Prospect Mountain. Dinner and shopping downtown. Some hippy art gallery. It'll be a hoot.Then months of plans ruined by a fluke thaw. "It can hit 60 in February?!"

Gymnasium/ basketball ambience — How do I explain this briefly? I went to military school in the South. I was that ***** of a student to need military school in the South. So we had a gymnasium that was not air-conditioned; all we had were gigantic fans in the ceiling that sucked the air out. So when you stood in the doorway to the outside, it was like standing in a vacuum. It's hot in the South. So when you play a few hours of ball, you sweat. And when you combine the sweat across your body

Martha's Vineyard Thunderstorm and Harbor Waves......

The sounds of summer... if you summer in Vineyard Haven. Thunder, rain, waves, gulls, hail, and steamship (ferry) traffic. Recorded last June, you will hear as one storm departs and another quickly approaches. And deluge awaits you in the middle. Off topic... Have you ever seen Point of No Return? Bridget Fonda stars as a troubled assassin who goes headfirst down a kitchen dumbwaiter to escape a missile. I realize it's a movie, and Fonda plays a badass... like obviously, the bad guys need to

Snowfall and mild traffic sounds — this is two hours of falling snow and mild traffic... but who gives a **** about that?

Old Hotel Ice Maker and the Rain Outside... Ambience

Rainy Hotel Ambience — Have you ever wandered down a long, narrow hallway following the loud hum of an ice maker? The small room in a hotel that houses free ice and expensive snacks — $5 Doritos is a thing, y'all. You walk into a hum that vibrates throughout your body as you hold out your tiny ice bucket with the mini-trashbag to catch the tumbling cubes. Those ice buckets are too small.
