Stairwell & Lift by Wanted Sound

Apartment block stairwells have a distinctive, and sometimes eerie vibe. They can be quiet places but any sounds that do occur are often drenched with lush reverb. Recorded here is the stairwell of an old apartment block. Everything is old - the stairs, the lift, the doors, the grime. And it's lovely.

I recorded 4 claps for use as impulse responses.
