Geese Fighting In The Rain

Went car camping in the Trona Pinnacles this past weekend. Before we left I took some time to make a binaural rig for my Clippy EM272 lavalier omni-microphones. Rig is based on this design http://www.trackseventeen.com/mic_rigs.html from Curtis Olson. I'm really impressed with this design so far, more testing to come!

Recorded with a MixPre 3 II using 32-float at 96 kps and 40 dB gain. I also had a windjammer over the setup which was essential because it was insanely windy. Most of the "windiness" you'll hear in this recording is just the roaring fire. Processing including multi-band compression in the mid range and equalization. Mainly cut some low frequencies and boosted the high end because of the windjammer.

Caught this lovely singing out of somebody's window in the morning. Haven't heard it before and I couldn't figure out where it was coming from...

Angel In The Neighbourhood

As I was laying in bed and trying to fall asleep, I saw a bright flash of light shine through my blinds. It looked like a flash of lightning, but we've lived in southern California for over five years and have never seen lightning. A few seconds went by, and sure enough I heard the familiar rumble of thunder in the distance. I debated whether or not to get up and put my recording equipment together, but I ultimately decided to do it. I managed to capture a few more rumbles as the mysterious storm moved past. If you think that you're hearing rain at any point, we didn't see a single drop of it.

Rolling Thunder (Senn. M/S)

After hiking up an off-roading trail, Lucia and I made it to the upper sardine lake for sunrise. The lake was mirror like and surrounded by glowing mountains. It was a serene morning with a lovely dawn chorus by the birds. It was so quiet you can even hear fish jump a few times.

For this track I took more time to edit this, still I think I created an honest representation of the soundscape. I removed some of the microphone noise and paid more attention to my EQ due to the stereo rig. In addition I was able to splice a longer recording (about an hour) into this shorter one to remove noises that Lucia and I generated. I thought about removing the plane portion, but I found it interesting how the birds seemed to get more active at those times.

Definitely best enjoyed with headphones :)

Groovin'

Recorded by vincent chanter. 'This is a recording of a corvid roost with the calls of Ravens and Jackdaws in the forest. Recorded on a warm September evening just before sunset.'

One of my favorite things in life is enjoying beautifully detailed, transparent, stereo recordings, and my personal mission is to capture the world around me in the same manner. For the best experience, I recommend listening to these recordings in an environment with accurate stereo image reproduction, or with a nice pair of headphones. Helpful comments & critiques are welcome.
