Summer night on Hällsjön at around 1:00am. Eurasian Bittern, Common Snipe, Eurasian Woodcock, Sedge Warbler and many more species were actively calling 
through the (short!) night.

The main goal of my trip to Lorraine in the east of France was to record Common Midwife Toads. The location was an old disused quarry just outside Lérouville and knowing the toads begin calling after dusk, I arrived early to have time to scope out the location. I was immediately greeted by a group of very vocal Pool Frogs, their calls echoing around the quarry. I captured this recording much later that night, just after midnight.

Pool Frogs - Lorraine, France

Peaceful landscape with gentle sounds of life. Recording was made at 5 in the morning, in the place visible in the picture. 

Equipment used: Zoom F3 digital recorder with EM-172 capsules. Recorded 32-bit 48kHz

Morning in the bog. Kuresoo, Soomaa, Estonia Mai 22, 2023

A few weeks ago Lucia and I made our first trip since having our baby. We made the trip in preparation for another trip to figure out how to travel. The trip needed to be multi-day and high in elevation to help baby be better prepared for his first airplane trip. We decided on Yosemite Valley. With a newborn hardly two months old would we be able to explore or create like we normally would? It was a different pace than our typical trips to be sure, but still awesome!

Something we don't often experience where we live is thunderstorms and finally for the first time I had an opportunity to record one! I used my SASS/Olson-ish microphone which uses four EM272 capsules. The EM272 doesn't have the largest SPL handling so I wasn't sure if the thunder would overload them or not. I was pleasantly surprised that in combination with the MixPre 3II 32-bit recording none of the thunder clipped! I put the microphone under a fallen tree in hopes the rain wouldn't hit it.

Processing this recording was a challenge. Thunder is LOUD. Many of the strikes were 40-60dB louder than the rest of the environment! Since I like to listen to my recordings while working I wanted to process the recording so I wouldn't need to change the volume constantly for fear of bleeding ears. I used a variety of techniques from removing the thunder with splicing and then overlaying the thunder with reduced volume. When the rain (and hail) was more intense I found this didn't work well so I instead relied on more targeted spectral editing. For both techniques I utilized iZotope's Ozone Maximizer to help keep the impact of the thunder while still reducing the volume to a listenable range.

I have a sneaking suspicion that I'll try reprocessing this at some point, but for now I'm proud of my first attempt. Hope you enjoy!

- Audio Interface: Sound Devices MixPre3-II

In this episode of Breaking History, Matt and Sean break down the roots of the Behaviorists managing the Biden administration and the fascist roots of behaviorism which played into a false opposition to the Freudian school of psycho-analysis on individual levels as well as on group dynamics.

This is a sample from the album 'Cape York: Melaleuca Swamp', recorded on the the edge of a remote melaleuca (paperbark) swamp in Cape York, far northern Australia. The microphones were placed near the edge of the wetland, adjacent to dry tropical woodland and with an open lilypad-covered lagoon in the background.  Throughout the album there is a nice natural mix of early morning sounds from wetland and woodland species in this unique landscape.
