Symphonic Sounds

Aura River in my hometown Turku has during the last few weeks, sounded as it used to  – at least  momentarily:   sounds of ships horns and signal devices have returned.

I have been recording sound samples for Aura River Symphony.  Currently I am charting and recording the typhons and other devices so that I would get an idea how they sound and how loud will they be. And also the echos and reverberations of buildings and the river valley. Next I´m testing the church bells.

Then there is always the weather which makes it very difficult to  know how everything will actually sound:  moisture, fog, wind, not to mention the snow – they all change the acoustics dramatically.
