All my recordings made during a trip to Japan in March 2009 collected together in a single Soundcloud playlist.

Recently I was very honoured to have one of my recordings used as the basis of one of Einzelganger's pieces. Here it is.

A binaural field recording made while walking around the entrance area of Kyoto Station, Japan on 27th March 2009.

The day of our return to Tokyo we got to Kyoto Station quite early. To kill time we went for a coffee in Caffe Veloce. My girlfriend wanted to do some last minute gift buying in one of the shopping centres in the station complex so I took the opportunity to record the hustle and bustle of the busy cafe.

This speaks for itself really. The Shinkansen trains are fantastic and I couldn't resist making some recordings from the Kyoto Station platform while we were waiting to jump on. Recorded on 27 March 2009.

Field recording made at the Fushimi-Inari-Taisha shrine in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto on 23rd March 2009.

Field recording made outside the Tokyo Dome amusement park on 28th March 2009.

During our stay in Tokyo we used the underground train a lot to get around. Unfortunately I didn't take note of the route we were taking while I made this recording. I'm sure it could be deduced from the train intercom that notified passengers of the journey progress.
