Went out for another windturbine expedition today. I found a map of all the windturbines in Denmark where I live, and found two not far from my house, and near one of my bike routes. So I set out after breakfast with my gear in a bag pack. 
The first two recordings is from a Vestas turbine - the long one is from "behind" the tower away from the wind, and the other on the side pointing towards the wind. 
The third recording is made maybe 1 Km from the first. This time it was a Nordex turbine with a pretty funky sound.
All recordings were done with a pair of LOM Use Pro omni mics I AB 40/50 either on magnet donuts on the tower, laying in the brush or handheld for the last one. Onto a SD MixPre 3II
I forgot to arm the Usi tracks, so this is more or less a "in the field mix"

3. Windturbine Ambient And Geofon Sim.

Good friday bells of the Berne Cathedral (Berner Münster), recorded from the square in front of the church on 2 April 2021 with a pair of Audio Technica AT4049b mics on a MixPre-6 recorder.

Berner Münster: Glockengeläut am Karfreitag

A trip to Thursford. As they open their doors for the first time this year, Jonathan Ling has been to record some interviews and instruments for us. Hear his reports on our live show.

The Thursford Steam Collection (06/07/21)

A collection of orchestral cues, finished incidental music, songs and rehearsals from the 1998-1999 ITV children's TV series, The Worst Witch. A highlight of my career, where I had the privilege of working with both a young and talented cast (including Felicity Jones and Una Stubbs)and inspiring directors and crew (including Andrew Morgan and Stefan Pleszczynski). This music has never been heard in its original full-bandwidth form, so I hope, if you're listening, that you enjoy the full frequency stereophonic sound! Paul K Joyce

Listening At The Pavilion Theatre Door

A binaural recording taken on a soon-to-be-withdrawn British Railways Class 156 DMU in North Norfolk.

These trains have been in service since the late 1980s, but are now facing withdrawal as local train operator, Abellio Greater Anglia are investing in an entirely new fleet of trains to replace them.

The Class 156 is powered by one 14-litre Cummins NT855R5 turbocharged diesel engine per carriage and this drives a two-stage Voith T211r hydraulic transmission, which results in the unit's engine speed remaining pretty much constant from departure up until speeds of around 43mph, where the torque converter locks up and creates a direct drive from the engine to the transmission, giving a maximum speed of 75mph.

I love the distinct characteristics of these "Sprinter" trains- the Cummins engine generates a nice thrum through the floor and I will certainly miss their nostalgic charm when they finally go.

Bin trucks are such wonderful noisy beasts! Simple recording from my living room window. I'll probably explore some different perspectives on this weekly sonic phenomena in future...

Bin Day

A lone Grey Wolf howls in the late morning, losing itself to the natural reverb of a glacial valley

Grey Wolves were all but extirpated from Washington early in the last century. They've been on a slow but steady recovery now for decades. While still a species of high concern in the Northwest, occasions of hearing their mournful cries are thankfully becoming more and more common.

This is not without controversy, unfortunately, as ranchers fear their livelihoods will be destroyed and hunters express concern over the competition for game animals. My general feeling is this is good, however. The mass numbers of humanity living in former wolf territory and the introduction of highly destructive and invasive farm and game animals such as cattle, pigs, chickens, bullfrogs, pheasant, etc, have had long-lasting, oft-permanent destructive consequences on our ecological systems. That wolves are able to reclaim some territory on their own despite the historical effort to eliminate them is a testimony to their tenacity as a species.

The challenges are great, though, and humanity does not make it easy for other apex predators to survive in a world we claim as our own to despoil at will. Wolves need help all around North America. To help recovery efforts and the benefits they can provide, consider supporting a conservation effort such as The International Wolf Center https://wolf.org or a sanctuary and rehabilitation center such as Wolf Haven International https://wolfhaven.org. For more information on their spread and recovery in Washington, read this informational pamphlet from the Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife https://bit.ly/2NvfgXW
