THE SILENCE OF (THE) AIR

from PUTREFACTION LEFTOVERS (2024 Remaster) by The Santairs

/

about

I know John Lennon did two “songs” where he just recorded air in the studio, but I always had a fascination of doing the same thing before I knew he even did it. The time I recorded this, back in the late 80’s, all I had was a two track recorder and a mono tape recorder. With this particular short recording, I recorded the silence of the air with the mono tape recorder for a few seconds. It has some obvious tape hiss. I want to try this experiment again sometime in the now professional studio I own and see (or hear) more of “nothing.” But that’s an experiment for another day. I used the Audacity music editor to work on this “recording”, transferring it from a Maxell metal capsule 110 minute cassette tape using a Denon DRM-700 with filters on.
This is recording #453.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

about

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
