Nighttime along a small Arizona stream.  Crickets dominate, but you can also hear the growly sounds of Chiricahua leopard frogs and western 
screech owl, and very faintly, great horned owl.

Night at Mattie Spring

Nature recordings, primarily from the western United States.  For the stories behind my recordings, visit my blog: www.wildmountainechoes.com.

In these days we are very much exposed to noise created by ourselves. Noise pollution if you like.
We can seldom transport our selves from point A to B without making really serious noise. How do we even cut the grass, whip cream or brush our teeth without making noise from petrol- or electric driven tools? :) Well we don't.
Undoubtedly we are affected by noise pollution in a bad way. That's why i truly love to escape to places where the soundscape is untouched and consists of only pure nature sounds. They are not very easy to find though.
I make recordings only as memories of beautiful soundscapes. Mainly to listen to when i feel a need for relaxing for a while and going back in time and place.
Recorder is mostly Sound Devices 702 and an ORTF setup of large membran mics. The sound is presented in mpg-format but is recorded in 24-192 wave.
