Olde New York
I can’t mention the clip-clop of horses hooves in New York City without offering a few evocative sound files! I had hoped that I might capture a recording that would meld Boris’ accomplished Jazz Sax with the sound of passing horses in Central Park, but you’ll just have to use your imagination!
These recordings capture a distinct aspect of my acoustic experience while in NYC, and it is interesting to note how the contemporary sound of these horses compete with the shrill whine of taxis riding their brakes. In the final soundfile, the sound - and history - of the horses is all but subsumed by the din of street traffic.
Peering into the past, and for a rather gritty, unique glimpse of ‘Olde New York’, check this Dark Passage site.
