The Sound of Irene

Technique: Westinghouse vibration meter used to record from window-glass,
air-conditioner surface (unit off), and wall. The meter records very low
frequency audio, from around .4 hz to 200. The audio was raised two
octaves; the result is what you hear - the sound of things shaking, out of
control. Our roof is already leaking badly and the storm's not really here
yet.

Technique: .wav files at 96 k from Zoom H2 built-in microphones; 6-8 are
frequency shifted 2-2.5 octaves, sounding similar to irene 3-5; 9 uses
heavy hiss reduction. Our roof continues leaking. The original recordings
for 6-9 were made outside in the storm. a-b nearer the onslaught of the
attack.
