Walking through a forest or standing in a valley represents an important moment for collecting highly valuable ambient sounds. The settings for making field recordings are extremely varied and encompass the soundscapes where plants and trees live: the flowing of a stream, the croaking of frogs, a field of poppies filled with cicadas in summer, the sound of a forest with rustling leaves, birdsong, ocean waves, or the passing wind... In short, nature provides us with an immense wealth of sounds that can be recorded using small portable recorders equipped with highly sensitive microphones.

At Biosonora, an archive of field recordings is being created, drawn from a wide range of natural environments. These sounds can have many uses beyond simple archiving: they can, for example, serve as the natural background for musical performances involving bioacoustics, or—through complex processing—become key elements in the creation of natural drones.
