Mallee Dawn

Album: Mallee Dawn - Recorded in Wyperfeld National Park, Victoria, Australia

In May of 2016 I made a trip to record in the wilderness of Mount Carleton Provincial Park in Northern New Brunswick, Canada. Recording among these woods, wetlands and streams was a joy, seldom have I experienced so much natural silence. This is a small section of a 10 minute recording of morning bird song in the Acadian Forest of Mount Carleton. Some of the birds you hear include the Purple Finch, Pileated Woodpecker drumming, Ruffed Grouse, Brown Creeper, Ovenbird, Black Capped Chickadee and Magnolia Warbler, the woods were full!

Starting in November, things get windy here in New England. The trees are barren of leaves, leaving the wind free to travel at faster speeds and greater distances. 

On a particularly windy day, I grabbed my Olympus LS-10, DIY wind shield and ventured out into my backyard. I placed my recorder in the middle of a clump of little bluestem grass and started recording. I tried to center the recorder to keep the L-R balanced and I'm happy with the result. 

In total, I recorded for three hours. Between traffic noise, my neighbors and aircraft, I ended up with a little over 5 minutes of usable audio split between two clips with this being the longer of the two.

There is an audible windchime in the background @3:30. I chose to leave it in because I don't find it overly distracting and I think it adds to the recording as a whole.

Wind Blowing through Tall Grass | Nature Field Recording

This is a recording of the first real snow storm of the year on December 15th 2020 in New England. The snow started at 6pm and I began this recording just before 7pm; we had already received about an inch of snow. 

The winds were high and I was excited to setup this recording rig to capture the sounds of the snow, wind and chimes.

To prepare the wind protection for this recording, I put bubblebee wind bubbles over the LS10 mic capsules, and then inserted the body into a DIY windscreen and tightened it down.

The wind protection did great for the average wind speeds (15mph), but the 20+ mph gusts were able to leak through. I actually like the effect of this and I find it sounds similar to fast winds in our own ears, so I chose to leave them in the final recording. This helped me to get this long, 13 minute clip.

I secured the LS10 to a metal wall hanging with a 4" bungee cord. In the past I have used electrical tape for this job but found it very wasteful and didn't like the sticky residue that it left on my gear. The bungee cord was a great success in this recording and I look forward to using them in the future!

If I could redo this recording, I would position the LS10 further below the wind chimes to get a better balance between chimes and wind. I find the chimes too overpowering in this recording.
