After a last minute call today, I threw my sound kit in the car and headed to Mt Roskil as a friend I have been hassling for ages finally cranked up his arc welder for some work he had planned...
I managed to capture a lot of the welding, from long intense runs to short bursts of crackle and hiss.
Imagining quite a rich, intense sound, I was stoked to hear how crisp and gloriously harsh it actually was in real life....
Back to the studio to clean it up and mangle it beyond recognition!!
