"Raw Lift Recordings - Audio 21" begins with the distant sounds of a bustling city. Cars, honking their horns and revving their engines, permeate the audio creating an atmosphere of movement and activity. Suddenly, the noise of the city fades away, replaced by the heavy, mechanical sound of an elevator in operation. The elevator, with its rhythmic clanking and whirring, becomes the focal point of the recording. It's clear that this is not a modern, silent elevator, but an older model, perhaps in a historic building, with a manual hoisting system. The listener can almost visualize the large, steel elevator cage being lifted from floor to floor, the cables straining with the weight. The high-pitched whine of the hoisting system is heard, growing louder as the elevator ascends, then fading as it reaches its destination and the doors open. The sound of footsteps echo in the spacious lift, bouncing off the metallic walls before fading away.
