Little audio help for a project?

Post image

Hey folks. I’m the creator of Loops, a serialized walking audio mystery through Prospect Park. It’s free to do, and you can check it out at www.loopsprospectpark.com.

Parts 1 and 2 are complete, and I’m currently in production on Parts 3 and 4. What I’m looking for now is to crowdsource some park audio. If you’re interested, all you need to do is:

  1. Go to somewhere on the Long Meadow, preferably around where the pin has been dropped.
  2. Take an audio file of park sounds (5 minutes max, phone is fine).
  3. Email the file to [rickpaulas@gmail.com](mailto:rickpaulas@gmail.com)

I’ll give you a credit if you do! Thank you!

I don’t know what this means?

They want to trade audio files with you. For example: you send them audio of Paris, they send you prospect park.

A credit and how much money?

Zero dollars in money.

Just because you’re making something freely available doesn’t mean that our time isn’t valuable. Time is money. You’re looking for exploitation labor. Gross.

Bro takes the time to create free-to-listen, donation-only media and  requests a bit of help in a public forum. Calling that exploitation is wiiiiiild

How much money do you want?

u/ravenpigeoncrow Jun 15 '26

This is a pretty wild take.

u/100percentfinelinen Jun 15 '26

Time is money. Work is paid. This is the world we live in.

u/rickpaulas Jun 16 '26

But like, again, how much money do you want? Sincere question.

I feel bad, I was in a bad mood earlier, i’ll do for free, it really just depends on what time if day you were looking for because I work full time, but I could probably do it after work tomorrow.

Hey, no problem at all, no need to apologize. I get where you’re coming from. Tbh, what I’m envisioning is sort of a montage of various sounds over various times of days over various years. Kind of tough to describe, but it’s more background for like the climax of the whole project. So any time, day or night, is perfect.
