Warning: The audio linked to inn this post has multiple explosive sounds and they do start at the beginning and some can be loud.
Over the holiday weekend I was at a family cottage at Tuttle Lake in Wisconsin. Each 4th of July weekend, there is a sizable private fireworks display put on by some cottage owners at the lake.
This year, I captured some of the audio and find the sounds of fireworks over open water an interesting sound. I don’t have the audio equipment to capture the full sound field or the way the concussions echo around the lake but this is still an interesting sound. The fireworks are shot from across the lake, pretty much in a direct line of sight to the end of the dock I was sitting on to capture this.
In this audio you can hear the lingering echos of the explosions but live, you can hear them really sort of move around the lake.
With all that’s going on in the world, I do have to wonder too how these same explosions and yells could be the sounds of war and terror. I feel very fortunate to live where I do and not have had to experience the horror of war directly.
I know there are people on all sides of the political spectrum but will say I hope we can all find a way to come together and protect the people of our country, the institutions of the U.S. Government and work to make life better for the people and planet. It is far from perfect and I know firsthand many of the ways we need to improve but this is the world we have and I hope we can all remember we need to share it with each other and our future.
