Aquatic Paths

Invernal Soundscapes: A 2nd soundwalk @ EcoLagoon reserve (Epanomi, Thessaloniki, Greece)

Sound storyboard:
Scene #1 [00:00 - 01:18]: beginning of Soundwalk, direction to 2nd trail of reserve. 
Observations: two stops in order to focus on ambient sounds. Horizontal rotation of 360º (N'-->W'-->´S-->´N´´) produces that sound often called ´Karma Vortex´ or Eolic noise

Scene#2: [01:18 - 02:40]: crossing of dried mursh and bushes. 2nd stop at sandhill - 2nd horizontal rotation of 360º (N'W´S´N´´)
[03:08]: small airplane invades the sky
[04:42]: invasion repeated. Contrast of sound ambience
[06:33]: walking through a group of small reed-type bushes
[07:35]: big aircraft invasion. Tracking direction with mic (S'E'-->N´W´)

Scene#3: [09:52 - 11:50]: reach of farest point of reserve's 2nd trail.Stop on sandhill - focus on ambient sounds - start of return

Scene#4: [11:52 - 17:56]
[13:20]: nice biosound..
[14:52] steps on returning trail. Bio sound follows..
[16:54]: the scared flight of the company of 4 grouses.. 

Remarks (subjective):
*Invasion is noise. Noise is invasion
**Invasion is unavoidable. I have doubts if noise is..
***we hear in a kind of 'abstraction level' way..macro to micro-world sounds.
****Time to 'freeze and focus' on sound ambience seems more than necessary.
*****what we perceive is much less than what we don't
