TENNIS VS FOOTBALL


This sound was taken at the end of E Park st., just before you get to Newhall st. Only a block away from where I recorded the liquid oxygen tank. I entered the park where the football field meets the tennis court. I found a group of girls playing tennis rather heatedly. Granted their permission, I sat in the back of the court and recorded them playing. I have always liked the sound of the whack as the tennis racket hits the ball, been when the football teem came out and started to scrimmage in the background, I found a plethera of sounds hitting my mics.

YOU CAN LISTEN TO IT here

It turns out the girls were practicing for the championship match they had with a rivalling school the next day.
All in all I am very satisfied with about a 45 second recording that took place and which during the whistle of the football coach set of a chain of sounds that mixes rather well. After the whistle you can here cars, a plane going overhead, tennis shoes scrapping against the pavement, the rackets whacking the tennis ball, the ball bouncing on the court, the pads of football players hitting against eachother, and their chantings towards the end.
