The winds of Ocean Breeze lament Staten Island’s dead from finitor on Vimeo.
There’s this unfinished building on Staten Island’s east shore, intended to eventually house an indoor track. When the wind blows strong, the metal strutwork and roof skin resonate to create this haunting music, like something one of those austere Nordic composers like Arvo Pärt would produce with a full chamber orchestra.
This is a raw field recording on an iPhone 5, with no audio mixing or post-processing.

Amazing…The wind sings for your loved ones Staten Island. I miss the weekends and summers I spent playing with my cousins in your Mariner’s Harbor. God Bless.
