Below are links to recordings made at the Ice House in Akron’s near North side. The Ice House is exactly what it is. . . the old ice storage facility for (apparently) a large area of Akron, OH. The building is immense. An open concrete and brick structure probably about 80 to 100 feet high inside. There must be about a million cubic feet of open, hard reflecting space in that room. It sounds incredible in there.
I recorded these tracks using a stereo pair of microphones widely separated. Edited and mastered using Audacity. No fx, no enhancing. The room speaks for itself.
