Name: The Swaffham Quarters- The Bells of St. Peter & St. Paul, Swaffham, Norfolk by Chris Richmond
Duration: 58 s
Description: Originally intended to strike the well-known "Westminster Quarters" (or "Cambridge Quarters" if you want to be really pedantic of the origin of the well known tune denoting the time), the church clock at the market town of Swaffham, Norfolk has been wired up to the chime hammers in such a way that the resulting melody is quite different.

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.

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

Recorded in The Mall at 13.30hrs on the day of the wedding of The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge. (or William and Catherine, if you prefer.) Soundfield SPS200-SB, Tascam DR-680

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...

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
