The Plumbing

Sounds for musique concrète can come from anywhere -

I recently had to fix a small fault in the plumbing in our house.  While the header-tank for the hot water system was exposed, I noticed some interesting sounds when other people were using hot water! 

 The eight files below were recorded using a large-diaphragm condenser mic [Behringer C1] over the header tank while I was taking a shower ...

To reduce unwanted noise transmitted up the mic stand, I mounted the C1 in a suspension cradle.

 

To get some more ideas, explore some of the sounds on our other pages; explore sounds from other sites; but best of all, when you are ready, start to record some of your own sounds.
