Dealing With Isolation

Crispy morning dawn. Cuckoo and black grouse are in the beginning of their concert and at the same time Boreal owl is about to finish his nightly performance.

Crispy May Morning

This recording was captured right in front of my tent at a little after 5am on the side of the Chattooga River. The section I was camping near was very calm and saw many people fishing and tubing on the river each day. Luckily traffic was minimal this morning and I was able to record some pristine nature sounds!

Recorded with a Sony D100 on a tripod, sensitivity 10.

Thank you for reading and listening ☺

This is a composition based on the letters of the names of my children. I rendered a distinctive sample to each letter and composed a piece of music from these samples. They are mainly field recordings, but there are some synth parts too. I dedicate this piece to my children.

This has been a stormy fall, and in Finland has been already 40 days with stormy wind speeds as the average is 27 a year.  A small, but intense low pressure passed over creating wind speeds up to 31,3 m/s in the gusts and 27 m/s as average. 

I couldn’t resist recording this storm just in our backyard as it was evident when I opened the front door in the morning that this wind is going to make damage. (The picture)

Recording storms creates mostly undefined white noise that’s not very pleasant to listen. But it seems, that when the wind gets hard enough, there occurs (more or less) strange noise patterns with regular shapes that can make it sound interesting. 

In situ I could hear cars passing and chainsaws running.  I hope there’s a bit of this weird noise left in this recording, at least when listening with headphones.

And yes, when the gusts were as strongest, two trees come down. One pine on the roof of our neighbors sauna building 6.50 and an other one with the tree trunk breaking 8.28

I'm On My Way To Heaven (Each & Every Day)

Red Rock Gorge Camp Ground in Sundown National Park, Queensland, beside the small dam at the Northern end, around midnight. Zoom F6, Rode NT55-MP with cardioid capsules, Rycote BBGs with wind jammers, ORTF. Three species of frog can be heard calling. I think they are: Striped Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes peronii, pok, ..., pok, ....), Smooth Toadlet (Uperoleia laevigata, creeek), and Eastern Dwarf Tree Frog (Litoria fallax, buzz like running a nail down a comb).

This podcast is pragmatic, secular and makes complicated Buddhist principles easy to understand.

Yeshe is a Buddhist monk. He is from England and teaches meditation, Buddhist philosophy and mindfulness.

Yeshe spent several years in a monastery in the foothills of the Himalayas teaching young monks basic Buddhist philosophy and meditation. He now offers teachings freely to all in a manner that is unpretentious and clear. He does not demand students to blindly accept what he says, but instead invites them to examine their own minds and experiences to discover the validity of Gautama Buddha’s teachings. 

Yeshe quietly demonstrates Gautama Buddha’s teaching on compassion through the charitable trust ‘Sangye Menla’ that he founded in 2008 in Chandigarh, Northern India. The trust provides medical assistance and care to people from the Himalayan region in India.
