After Jez’s talk I went straight down to Maplins and bought all of the bits and pieces I needed to make a contact mic. I was eager to try and capture some sounds of my own like his work. This practice will be extremely helpful when I’m creating pieces for my clients film. They want something ambient and droning and ominous sounding and I feel like making these recordings will be a good way to start. I made the contact mic but it wasn’t very good, I’m not exactly a soldering iron master so I think I might have soldered something wrong but I was still getting a very low signal so maybe I just need to improve the contacts. Because I’m not really getting what I wanted I’m going to have to get a mic from media loans and try working with that.
