FIELD TRIP at Patchbay Neighborhood Sound Lab

FIELD TRIP is a free monthly outdoor audio recording and listening excursion through the neighbourhood around Elm Park. We gather every third Saturday of the month from 11am-1pm at the Elm Park Fieldhouse (5837 Larch Street), and take a walk around the neighbourhood to listen and record the sounds and signals around us. Rain or shine, we will loosely gather at the Elm Park Fieldhouse around 11am and begin the walk closer to 11:30.

With FIELD TRIP, our ears are the guide, listening through microphones and each other’s curiosities to discover the sounds that inhabit our neighborhood. No prior experience with field recording is necessary, and you can use anything that captures or transmits sound—a radio, an old Zoom recorder, even your phone! We suggest bringing your own pair of headphones, wired, if you can.

Patchbay will have some gear to share. Meetups are loosely guided, but not prescriptive—let’s take a walk together 🙂

Coffee and donuts provided!
