Field Recordings by Thijs GeritzNocturnal beach (Scheveningen, March 5th, 2014)The waves breaking, probably one of the most recorded sounds. But I never actually made a proper recording of it.

De branding, waarschijnlijk een van de meest opgenomen geluiden. Maar ik heb er eigenlijk nooit een goeie opname van gemaakt. Ik reed toevallig langs het strand en besefte me dat er èn geen mensen waren èn geen wind. Een mooie gelegenheid om eens een opname te maken. Opgenomen rond 21:30u...

The Hague city sounds / Het geluid van Den HaagSteiger bouwen/Building a scaffold (Theresia van Ávila kerk, Den Haag, September 13th 2013)Door een ondegelijke renovatie 2 jaar geleden kon men opnieuw een steiger gaan bouwen rond de Theresia van Ávila kerk in Den Haag. De constructie van de steiger duurde dit keer niet 2 maanden maar slechts 1 week... gelukkig.
Due to unsound renovations 2 years ago they had to construct another a scaffold around the Theresia of Ávila church in The Hague. Luckily, this time the construction took only 1 week instead of 2 months.

Field Recordings by Thijs GeritzTrains, Trams And Automobiles (Den Haag, August 6th 2013)Recorded around 8:30AM near the Rijswijkseplein, The Hague. At this place you can hear a never ending stream of traffic sounds. There's an elevated train, many cars and motorcycles, trams (with their squeaking wheels) and even a few boats. A very rich mixture, so I tried to record it.
