Field Recordings of the Mysterious Ringing Rocks/Montana, music made with rocks. Near Butte Montana, and part of the edge of the Boulder Batholith, is a large jumbled pile of boulders, the rocks in this unique geologic formation chime melodically when tapped lightly with a crescent wrench or mallet.

It is believed that the ringing is a combination of the composition of the rock and the way the joining patterns have developed as the rocks have eroded away, though ultimately a concrete scientific explanation has yet to be arrived at. Curiously, if a boulder is removed from the pile, it no longer rings.

Slightly different pitches and timbres emanate from thousands of rocks in the formation, and in theory Butte's Ringing Rocks could form the basic ostinato for the "Music of the Spheres."(Musica Universalis)

Give me a minute to take you to the river. It's a glorious summer morning on the Macquarie River, running through the heart of Dubbo City in Central NSW. The birds, bees and water insects are doing their thing as the brown water swirls and eddies, gently washing over the pebbly beach on its way further west.

René picked up some Rode NT5-O omni capsules for his (dormant) pair of NT5s recently, and produced a pretty deep dive into the recordings he's made while exploring them recently.
