Name: A walk through the landscape of Matsalu National Park, Estonia. by Andrus Kannel
Duration: 5 min 15 s
Description: April 20, 2019. The recording begins at 7.37 in the morning. I really like diversity of birds in Matsalu but recording is somewhat difficult because there are no natural obstacles (thick forest or mountains) to preventing noise from the roads. It's not technically pure clean recording. It's a sketch, the groundwork, note in my audio notebook.

I know you are critical of the road noise but really it’s not noticeable! The birds are lovely.

wow, what a beautiful symphony of diverse bird sounds! I love it, thanks for making it for us!

This is a wonderful recording, so many bird species.

Recorded on the remote Indonesian island of Halmahera, this album features rare soundscapes from one of the world's most biodiverse ecoregions.

Wild Boar grunt and snuffle from the forest floor while the mournful calls of Tawny Owls resonate in the tall pine forest. In the background you can hear the strange bubbly trill of the Eurasian Nightjar. Recorded in the Serrania de Ronda, Andalucia, Spain.

April 20, 2019. The recording begins at 7.37 in the morning. I really like diversity of birds in Matsalu but recording is somewhat difficult because there are no natural obstacles (thick forest or mountains) to preventing noise from the roads.

A walk through the landscape of Matsalu National Park, Estonia.

Full Story + Photos: https://acousticnature.com/journal/field-recording-trip-vermont-ice-storm 

I recorded this soundscape at my friend's cabin in Vermont near the Green Mountain National Forest. The forest was covered in a thick layer of ice from a recent freezing rain storm. 

While I was chopping wood, I noticed the sound of ice crystals falling to the forest floor and shattering. The sound was constant and gusts of wind caused larger crystals to fall. 

As soon as I became aware of this subtle sound, I knew I had to record it. Because I didn't know how much battery life I would get in the frigid temps (15°F), I waited until 11pm to setup my recording gear. I did this to maximize my chance at a noise-pollution-free recording hoping that most people would be asleep.

To setup the recording I wanted to bungee cord my binaural microphone to a tree, but it was too difficult and too cold to have the patience necessary to get it right. Instead, I simply put the microphone on top of a snow bank facing the forest and the D100 in a dry bag next to it.

I was shocked to find the D100 still recording when I returned at 7:26am.

In total, I recorded for 8hr 22min and ended up with 23min of usable audio (≈4.6%). In post-production, I added a lo-cut filter at 180Hz, 12dB/octave to remove some low-frequency wind rumbling, and increased the loudness slightly to -30LKFS. 

Recorder: D100
Mics: DIY Binaural Housing
Sensitivity: 4
Lo-cut: OFF
Time: 11:04pm
Wind Protection: 2 Winter Hats

Thank you for reading and listening. ♫
