urban crickets

["cmursic" <>]

Here's a 2 minute "composition" featuring those sassy street-smart
city crickets chirping away up here in the Oakland (California)
hills last week.  The foregroud chirps are unprocessed save for some
eq-ing to eliminate low freq distant traffic hum.  The two alpenhorn-
like note clusters are single chirps slowed down considerably with a
little reverb added for effect.  Recorded using a Rode NT4 stereo
mic (stuck about three feet into the bushes) going directly into a
Korg D1600 hard disk recorder running off a current inverter from my
car battery.
