I bet! This most recent set of your recordings is really impressive. Has been amazing hearing a soundscape that isn't one I've heard recorded much before. Can't wait to hear what you get up to next. 

Blown away by this, what an incredible recording of an incredible natural sound

I love alligators and their isnt much sounds of them i find their sounds peaceful. Theyre dangerous and calm if I could die and come back as an animal. Alligator’s my choice.

This album is a collection of the best recordings I made while exploring the Santee Coastal Reserve in South Carolina. The variety of sounds reflects the diverse landscape within the reserve.

All sounds were captured with handmade SASS microphones recording to Sony D100, Olympus LS-10, or Tascam DR05x field recorders.

Wild Alligator Bellowing at Night (11:57pm)

Quiet midnight campfire on the Oregon coast with waves and frogs in the background. Stereo recording, use headphones

Midnight campfire on the Oregon coast

I performed a Mid-Side test by inserting a Primo EM283 figure-eight microphone and a PUI AOM 5024 omnidirectional microphone into a 53 cm diameter parabolic dish.

WalkingSteps

Echoing through a flooded cypress tree forest, first a Barred Owl hoots, and then joins a second to fuss back and forth. Deep voiced Pig Frogs and shrill crickets are a sonic backdrop. Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida, August 2022, recorded with Usi Pro omni pair and Zoom F3 recorder.

Rain In Valcerina

I sat with the forest. I sat far farther back from the overlooking edge seen in this photo. I didn't watch, I only listened.
I was deeply touched by the inexorable reality that, 'before' and 'after', which are but an imagination, nothing whatsoever had changed; nothing whatsoever COULD change. Business will grind on as usual, of course.
In the recording, if you listen from beginning to end, the sounds will tell the truth: both metaphorically, metaphysically, and quite literally.
Whatever will be 'new' - truly, existentially 'new' - must come, and can ONLY come, fundamentally, from us: our own minds, our own actions, our own ways of being.

2022.12.31 - 2023.01.01. What the Forest Heard.

(Best listened to with good quality headphones, in a quiet environment, at low to mid volume. Be warned: the dynamics occasionally explode, particularly in the form of Black-winged Currawongs.)

This recording is an early result of experimenting with a pair of omnidirectional and a pair of supercardioid microphones in parallel. The omnis absorb the environing atmospheric ambience, the supercardioids capture a selective and narrower focus of detail. (No processing.)

2023.01.08 Awakening Pine Forest. First Light. Summer.

Wood Thrush// 220426// some handling and anthropophonic noise// recorded by pointing the built-in mics at a bird singing from a tree nearby.

Fox Barking

An evening at the local wetland, punctuated by a symphony of spring peepers and an occasional round of applause from the resident beavers.
