Just did this one today around lunchtime.

Again, you must use headphones for this! The better they are, the more realistic this will sound.

It starts out with me walking up to the corner of Michigan and Ohio. I stand there for a while as cars go whizzing by, and pedestrians mill around me and talk. There is a traffic cop ahead and to my right in the middle of the intersection. I'm standing close to the curb and at one point a bus passes in front of me. You can really hear the reflections off buildings!

I should've taken my own picture, but here is the same corner. I was standing by the building on the left with the rounded corner, facing into the street.

I then take a stroll a few blocks up Michigan Ave. It's a hot day and there are lots of businesspeople and tourists about.

I am making a bit of commentary along the way, but it gets drowned out mostly.

There is a homeless man selling "Streetwise". (a newspaper produced by the homeless) He's seems to be suffering from schizophrenia. I think his mantra is "streetwise" sped up about a thousand times. What the "chorus" of his chant is, I can't tell. Speculation anyone? Whatever it is, it makes a good beat and if anyone is an electronic music artist, have at it!

I then walk across the street to the east side and walk back to Ohio Street.

That was cool! My 15 year old daughter really got a kick from that as well.How do you make these recordings?My daughter attends the loop campus of U 0f C lab and she walks around the downtown a lot.You should try this getting abord an el train or going down one of of the sub stations.It would also be cool to do this driving a fire engine.Did I say that was so cool.I would love to record a high speed blast on my Buell motorcycle through Hubbard's cave or along Northern Lake Shore Drive.that was great.You gotta tell me what equipment you used so I can do this myself.the pic adds to the effect.you did a great job man.

Tuberoller, I explain the equipment more in my other thread...

Subways and trains are going to be done soon!

Although I don't think a motorcycle would turn out too well. The wind noise would drown everything out unless you devise some kind of really excellent windscreen.

Thanks for listening!

i am a HUGE fan of your last work and i can't wait for this one to finish downloading. i really want to play it for some co-workers and see what they think of it. i think after you make a few more you should release an album of them all! i'd certainly buy it. anyway, keep up the great work!

I think you are developing a fan club here!

Another cool "track" ... Kinda wierd how well the effect works. My fiancee is officially spooked now. (That's a good thing though!)

I'm hoping to get the equipment setup to do a run at this in New Orleans. I'm leaving on my honeymoon in 3 weeks though and the time is a little tight. Anywho, great stuff.

This is the first binaural recording ive ever heard and i think i can basically sum it up in one word "WOW" i thought 5 point surround sound was good but i seriously think this is better.
