about

The art of field recording needs another recording of trucks in the street like I need a hole in my head, but I found this particular sonic situation valuable.

Indian traffic is truly a spectacle to the Westerner: cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, rickshaws of both the bicycle and automotive variety, camels, and even elephants are not uncommon modes of conveyance on the streets.

Such a variety of transportation generally results in a cacophony of engines and horns as drivers jockey for position with an aggressiveness that takes some getting used to for an American. This recording, on the other hand, was made in a fairly remote and relatively deserted street of Delhi's touristy Karol Baugh district at night. As a result, the listener can discern the discrete sounds of individual vehicles.
