I thought I’d have another domestic day today. There are heaps of things around the average house that generate sound and I always find myself putting off recording them because I think “they’ll be there tomorrow” the obvious problem with that is sooner or later you need to get around to actually recording them. So today I went around all the drawers and doors as well as some of the electrical devices. There are still a lot to do, but it was a good start. I also recorded the sound of walking in thongs (flip flops for those of you not Australian. Yes we wear thongs on our feet! :-) ) These were another good inclusion for the footsteps category, but also a very important inclusion for the list of Australian sounds I am trying to compile for a possible exhibit. While thongs may not be unique to Australia, they are a very Australian sound. In most coastal areas for the last fifty years you could hear the sound of people in thongs. (Apparently invented by a guy in New Zealand in the late 40’s or 50’s.)
