Conference Call / Found Music

Found Music!

So, when I started transferring the audio of my first Rowntree interview over to the computer, I noticed that the recorder I'd checked out had a lot of recordings on it that I didn't make. These must have been made by the person who checked it out before me. Dozens of tracks, each about 30 seconds long. It sounds like somebody was just trying to compile as many "interesting" noises as possible. Car engines revving to the extreme, what sounds like about a hundred pennies dropping and rolling on the ground... and then there is the music. Ranging from a recording of a recording of "classical" music (sounds like a boombox), to a fairly competent solo performance on an Asian-sounding bowed instrument.
It's kind of eerie that this stuff showed up on the recorder. I mean, it could BE a Rowntree record. (Maybe we should use it.) Sample track below. Let me know if you want more.

Weird!

Is that the whole file? I converted it to mp3 below, and that sure sounds strange.

Whoops

That's the whole file but there are about twenty five more. Here is the actual one I meant to post. It sounds like you, Ben.

In Case You're Wondering What I Do in "Grad School"

Believe it or not, I typed out this transcript for the first hour of an interview with Andrew, Jason, Ben, and Billy. Class requirement. 5 hours of focus on the minutiae of our rock banter. It's good work if you can get it.

Amazing Transcript

I'd be interested in incorporating all of this RAW RAW data in the website itself. Could you upload the recording in its original format?
