Tangent: you reminded me of one of the coolest auditory experiences I've ever had. Roughly one-and-a-half decades ago I attended a public lecture by Olivier Nijs, a sound design guy from my region[0], about how he built an automated set-up from an old desktop to record one second of 7:00 in the morning every day. Then he manually cut together one whole year. The amazing thing about it was that after a few seconds the long-term trends really started to become noticeable. The changing sounds of birds, people and other living things. How rains in spring were somehow just a little different than the rains in summer or autumn. It was really, really amazing.
(the artist himself wasn't that impressed with his own work - perhaps he saw someone else do it before and didn't feel like showing off with something unoriginal or something?)

- vanderZwan 6y agoThat's seven in the afternoon, I guess I misremembered! Thank you so much for finding it! :) EDIT: This is six in the morning, maybe I heard that version https://soundcloud.com/oliviernijs/perdag600 https://soundcloud.com/oliviernijs/perdag600
- umaar 6y agoSounds fascinating, stuff like that interests me a lot. Hope that video surfaces one day, would really like to see it.
- jancsika 6y agoMm, that's one of those things I read and wish I had thought to try that. :)
