Journey West in search of Sound

We got up early this morning and headed out West in search of possible abandoned locations for metal scrapings and the other such recordings that only ruins can provide. After a hearty breakfast in the metropolis of Helensville, we descended upon the abandoned Dairy Factory located in the town centre.
To our dismay, this once amazing site had been mostly demolished in wake of a new purpose for the property. Sadly, this combined with an unscalable electric fence meant the end for another
one of Auckland's abandoned sites.




Carrying onwards, we came across an abandon School Hall located out in the countryside.
Awesome little site but the location next to a busy road and there not being one creaking door in the entire place meant very little of use to us recording wise.




The morning was not a loss though, as we found a weird little Junk store on the main street of Helensville that had a $5 bin crammed with Ceramic bottles and cups. After listening intently to each one, the below two were selected and will come in very handy for cup/bottle pick ups and general handling.
