Wouter Jaspers (formerly of KOMA Elektronik) has launched a new venture, Sonic Artefacts, that offers a range of microphones and other electro-acoustic sound tools.
He let us know about this video, made in collaboration with synthesist Hainbach, that captures a recent field recording date, where the duo tested the Sonic Artefacts Cortiça Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone on location, with a vintage Nagra 4-S reel-to-reel field recorder.
“A few weeks ago, Hainbach and I went out to test the new microphones I made for my new little company Sonic Artefacts and use them to record the world around us,” explains Jaspers. “We ended up recording new works for our group #oddnarrative in a free and fun way. That combined with springtime in Berlin, what a pleasure!”
You can find out more about the Cortiça microphone at the Sonic Artefacts site.
Cool looking crane in the distance.
Yes. The box on the short end is a counterweight that moves along a track to continually keep the crane balanced while it lifts cargo of different weights.
Fascinating. I’ll be in Berlin next week for Superbooth
Must take a trip down the Spree while I’m there to get a closer look at this crane
