This is a recording I made for the 418th weekly Disquiet Junto project — Ice-Nine / The Assignment: Record the sound of ice in a glass and make something of it. I rattled 4 cubes of ice, partially melted in a large thick glass beer stein by my microphone and passed the sounds through my Red Panda Particle pedal and OTO BIM and BAM units as it was being recorded. I further processed the recording through Ableton's Resonators, Saturator, and Reverb.

ABridge - Disquiet0448

Deforestation in Finland has accelerated tremendously in recent years. Most old forests have already been cutted, but also logging growing forests  for the pulp industry is still increasing. When the logging machine comes, the scene is like from a horror movie. Like the sounding too. 

A little piece of old forest that had remain near our home was nearly clear cutted brutally. It took four days to do that, and this recording is from the third day.  A Black Woodpecker cried hearth-breakable during the first day and a Raven pair flew over and over again during all the days of logging. 

This piece is recorded near my bird feeder. The Raven is heard best between 5-6 and from 11.15. The other birds are mostly tits of the woods. Between 9-10.30 a Willow Tit (most likely) is singing weakly it's fall song. In the picture the logging machine is resting for a moment. Enjoy with headphones, thanks!

Sleeping Lady

This is a compilation from an over night recording in Kirpakka woods with 15 small cracks in chronological order and as last a bigger bang from one long recording earlier in february.

I had the microphones out in Kirpakka small preservation area over night (from sunset to midday) during the coldest days when temp went down to -20C.  There was practically no sign of life except some road noise and machines from a nearby farm.  Daytime there were a few Crows and two Ravens, one Great Spotted Woodpecker and in early night the distant call of a Tengman's Owl.  

One recording of 18 hours earlier didn't result in any sound of life except a very weak Crow at 11 am. and the big crack in the end of this recording.

There seems to be a great loss of tits and crossbills in Finnish forests today.

But the trees were keeping a good amount of cracks and pops, specially in the early night when the temperature change was as fastest.
