I record audio vignettes all the time using iOS Voice Memos, opportunistically snapping 30 seconds or so, the same way one might snap a random photo with a phone. City noises, transport noises, in-situ music, birdsong, machinery, a bedtime story, hold music… all kinds of cool stuff. I haven’t found any better way to organize this collection than chronologically with a short title for each.
I’m also a big fan of Live Photos (remember Live Photos? Nobody talks about them any more), and the short burst of audio you get with each.
Looking and listening back at some of these, it’s the sound which brings the scene back to life. The sound feels alive, while photographs alone feel frozen and distant.
- silicon2401 4y agoI love snapshots like this and I wish there were more devices like google glass. I know it's a big privacy hazard, but it's so nice to just have even a short video of a moment in time. maybe i just need to be less shy about taking video in public
- radlad 4y agoI know people who've done video projects where they take 2-3 second clips over the course of a year and create a summary video at the end. They can be very cool.
- sheinsheish 4y agowow! live photos what an idea! i have lots of them. think how nice would it be if architects incorporated sound / music in the spaces they create.
