Lift Lock Acoustics

Winter Apples Tester
In the off-season, the Peterborough Lift Lock was wonderfully deserted. This is one of the side-tunnels off of the single-lane roadway which I discovered to record in.

Pressed for time, combined with sub-freezing temperatures and the ocassional passing truck all made for an an exciting read-thru of Winter Apples that I had selected from O’Neill’s Irish Tunes earlier that morning. I recorded a few quick takes with varying degrees of success. What I discovered just now before deleting the ‘bad apples’ is that the slower, rehearsal tempo revealed an aspect of the ringing acoustic that is lost when the same piece is played at a faster speed.
