This is my first ever soundscape recording. I made it on May 14, 2015 along the Mauna Loa Road in Kīpuka Kī in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park at approximately 445am. I used five Rode NT1-A cardioid microphones placed in a configuration that resembles a home theater setup. My audio recorder was a Zoom H6 digital audio recorder. This recording has been mixed to be a stereo file.

Wear headphones for the best listening experience.

Enjoy!

Recordings were made under permits issued by the park and for the purpose of science and education.
