Not common to have 30 cm of snow so late in the spring. This is me walking in the snow.

Walking in thick snow

Days Incomplete

This is the first track I've ever released featuring my own vocals.
No lyrics yet, just 'oohs and ahhs'.
Actually there aren't even any 'oohs'..

The album art is an accidental photo I took of the Kathmandu "skyline".

Enjoy

A compilation of Sika deer tri-whistle calls, recorded in County Leitrim during the rutting season (September to November). These were recorded using unattended AudioMoths, hence the distant and quite noisy quality. Worth noting that despite its name, the last example is composed of 4 calls, then again the call is shorter/faster than the 'proper' tri-whistles.

"Sika deer originate from Japan, These were introduced by Lord Powerscourt in 1860. A few years later some were moved from Powerscourt (Co. Wicklow) to enclosed parks in Fermanagh, Kerry, Limerick, Down and Monaghan. The present wild deer herds mostly originated as escapees from these parks in the early 20th century." (Irish Deer Commission, 2022)

Species: Sika deer (Cervus nippon)
Date and time of recording: 6 October 2021, 4pm
Location: County Leitrim, Ireland
Habitat: Forestry plantation
Gear: Open Acoustic Devices AudioMoth mixed with Sennheiser Mid-Side setup for background ambience

Recorded for the Arney Aquatic Acoustics EU Interreg project.

Sika Deer Tri-Whistle (Medley)

Some new gear purchased this week in the form of a Radius Mini-alto Windshield setup. So far very impressed with the well thought out ergonomics, ease of use and modularity. Everything we could ever have asked for at a really competitive price. To complete the setup I also purchased a Schoeps Mk 8 Capsule to make a compact MS setup for on the road. 

This is recording in MS at its widest setting, panned full L and R. It sounds really good even when you collapse the MS slightly but I've kept it full open so you can hear all the elements. The stereo effect is pretty impressive and the ambience really shows on that Mk 8 capsule, with the fireworks bouncing off the hard surfaces of the housing estate. 

No EQ applied at all, just a hard limiter to control some of those louder explosions and make it overall easier on the ears. 

Gear: Sound Devices MixPre 6 ii + Schoeps Mk 4+8 MS inside the Radius Mini-alto 115 without Fur. 

If you haven't bought a Radius windshield yet, don't hold out, they're awesome. 
Also something to listen out for, not all the 'wizz' sounds are fireworks, as there were lots of Redwing moving that night too. Feel sorry for them, I bet they're frightened to death hearing all that whilst trying to migrate at night.
