Cool Quartet - September in Tomelilla

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ja8BdVHUUfU

The group are a jazz standards group, playing straight-up jazz with Nyberg added on vocals at a venue in Sweden one night in September 2008. For these initial pieces, La Casa has made recordings that veer between straight up recordings of the group swinging its way through one tune or another, microphones close to the action, to further recordings of trains passing, presumably nearby to the venue, bits of conversations, opening and closing doors, near silent spaces, traffic, chatter, and a lot of recordings of the group playing as if captured from neighbouring rooms. My guess is that La Casa wandered about the venue while the concert took place, microphone in hand, and what we hear on the first three combined pieces here are either an unedited take of La Casa’s journey, or a spliced together collage made from such recordings.

Movietone - Mono Valley (I guess this is more 'recorded in the same room as the band while someone smashed vases and banged on a piano and vandalized equipment in the adjoining room'. on a lot of their material they would closely mike the vocals and guitars and distantly mike the rest of the band to capture a lot of room noise and atmospheric murk)

We recorded the rest of the album at Mr. Ginn's, an understanding studio in Bristol where we could smash as much glass as we liked to 'Mono Valley' without the batting of an eyelid.

Plumtree - Good Time to Tell Me (idk the story behind this but it sounds they tacked a rehearsal/demo onto the end of their album because they thought it was an inspired moment. swinging doors abound)

sorry for linking to a rym thread, but

Recordings of music heard through walls/at a distance

Doesn't 100% match the thread, but you gotta appreciate the effort:

Get ready, America, for a three-day weekend of hearing this coming from the next block.

For some reason the toto song really hit home

Wait, they've got the Twin Peaks theme and "Plainsong" by the Cure on there! That's just redundant!

there's a deep house tune from probably the early 2010s that does this all the way through. I think you can hear singing and clapping but the beat is definitely on the other side of the wall... it's a long shot but can anyone help?
