Very quiet morning, the back door of our garage is talking in the wind.

This is the sound of a Freight Train in a train yard preparing for its trip out of Richmond, CA.

“Senur” first chapter.

In 10th of February 2013 I recorded a concert with Amateur symphony orchestra. 
The program contained a wonderful melody “Senur” composed in four chapters by Sigurður Sævarsson. It was composed for string orchestra and obo. Both the orchestra and the soloist, Guðrún Másdóttir, played it flawless. 
I was pretty happy with the recording result, even though the concert hall (a church) sounded terrible for recording. It has a very harsh sound and difficult peaks in some resonance frequencies. 
Over the orchestra I used a Jecklin disk with a double pair of mics, parallel MKH8020 and MKH20 in 45°+45° (see following picture). 
Close to the soloist was a pair of MKH8040 and far behind in the hall was a pair of SE4400a with spaced Omni (70cm). 
 
Past months I have got a few emails where people ask me for a sound sample with my Jecklin disk. So this is it. Hereby is the first chapter of Senur. The only post work I do for this Soundcloud work out was turning off MKH8020 on the Jecklin disk and the SE4400a far behind in the hall. Then I increase the gain of MKH20 on the Jecklin disk about +8dB

"Senur" chapter one, with MKH20 on Jecklin disk

Recorded at the approach end of the Reading Air Show with a Jecklin Disk using two Audio-Technica AT4022 microphones and a Sound Devices 702 recorder.  This is a rare opportunity to hear B-29 bomber performing a high speed low-altitude fly-over.  

This is very close to what it must have sounded like to the Allied prisoners of war who were starving at the Omori prison camp in Tokyo, when suddenly a B-29 flew low over the camp.  Many spirits were revived on that day for sure.

Recording levels were set with minimal gain in order to hopefully eliminate any clipping.  The sound is best heard with wide-range monitors turned up slightly.  If the lapels on your shirt flap during the fly-over you have the sound level set about right.

Recorded at the approach end of the Reading Air Show, three B-25 mitchell bombers, (Briefing Time)(Yankee Warrior) and (Panchito), perform a low-altitude fly-over.  Recorded with a Jecklin Disk using two Audio-Technica AT4022 microphones and a Sound Devices 702 recorder.  The recording gain was turned down in an effort to avoid clipping.  When listening, you should increase the gain on your system.  Wide-range monitors, good speakers, or headphones are best to realize the feel of the sounds.

A beautiful and haunting melody from one of France's great composers, Erik Satie. While this piece is simple, it also has a great deal of emotional depth and it is the transmission of this that makes it so challenging to play, as with many of Satie's pieces.
