African Scops Owl In The Savanna

August 14, 2022...    forest soundscape at ~ 5 am.   Quiet, still, calm, little wind, dominated by insect sounds typical of this time of year.  Recorder & mics located on the edge of a still pool in Brown Creek, not flowing this time of year due to lack of rain in late summer here.  There actually is a very slight flow of water, which can be heard thoughout the recording.   Photo shows site of recording.  Near the beginning of the recording there are calls of an eastern screech owl.  Later, a few frogs chime in.   This night was relatively cool for August (temps in the high 60°F range).  

In the forest here, this is the the quietest time of the night, 1-2 hours before dawn.  After dawn, the cicadas will start, the wind will pick up and it won't be quiet again until late afternoon.  As night falls, the evening summer soundscape here is dominated by (very loud) katydids, crickets, other insects and sometimes frogs/toads, for hours...   continuing through most of the night until early morning quiet time. 

Recorded with Earsight mics about 50-60 cm apart into a Zoom F3 recorder.  Low frequencies were attenuated and volume was adjusted.  

Headphones recommended (as always).

deer at night rubbing its horns on open field- primal forest Slovenia

11th of February 2023.    I was not sure if  would go out early to record as I both wanted and not wanted to go at the same time, sometimes I feel like that.  If I was going to get up I would need to wake at 4.50am.  
I usually have the radio on for a lot of the night it helps me to sleep.  I woke to a Led Zeppelin track, so what time was it ?  4.49am, so I thought that seeing that I woke at the right time I would get up.  Got out of bed at 4.53am.  Left home for Ballinvally woods at 5.55am, arrived at 6.21am.  The birds began to sing and call at 6.52am.  A nearby Songthrush sang really well, so I got a nice close perspective recording.  After this I recorded various sounds in the area.  A lot of jets went over, so I gave up and went home, left at 8.05am, got back at 8.33am.  It was a calm dry cloudy morning.  I used only the MixPre3 and the Rode NTG-8 gun microphone (No second recording rig/Drop rig).  This Soundcloud track was made up from four of the five recordings, a sort of medley of the mornings work.

The Birdsong Season Opens - 11 Feb 2023, Early Morning, Ballinvally.

When I was younger - this was my go-to happy place. 

When I was burdened with the stress of final exams and whatever else seemed like a big deal to my then teenage self, this is where I came to escape. Thinking back, I have always sought and found solace in nature. 

It was nice to step back here today, some fifteen years later, and pay some respect and really listen to the site that gave me so much for many years. I spent a good two hours here alone in my thoughts, in my old-school happy place. 

It turns out this place still has the same effect. I'm sure I will revisit soon, and I'll certainly listen to this track when I need to unwind but can't get out. I hope you enjoy it and can get some idea of the solace and joy I get from this place.

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.
