about

A field recording from Commodore Park in Seattle, right at the mouth of the Lake Washington Ship Canal, across the water from the Ballard locks. There's a bridge there that's only open to freight train traffic, and a rookery of herons that nest in the trees.

The train reverberates on the canal, and the herons have a sort of clatter of a call - those two things meld together in this recording. Initially, you hear just the birds, then there are a few minutes where the train enters and the birds become a sort of ghostly version of the fish plates that join rails, and that ambiguity makes the train simultaneously seem closer and further away. Both the birds and the train were recorded from right outside the cement structure in the trees of Commodore Park.

This field recording is part of a series that can be found at seattle-soundmap.neocities.org - navigate to Commodore Park (in the Magnolia neighborhood) to hear the train and the herons individually, or poke around the site to find recordings of water and birds and neighbors and wanderers...
