Name: Calm waterfall in the rainforest by George Vlad in Rainforests of Costa Rica
Duration: 10 min 43 s
Description: The sound of a waterfall in a remote part of the rainforest is peaceful and soothing. There is a sweet spot where the balance between the detail of the water sounds and the wildlife calls is just right. Long version at https://youtu.be/PbgIks65fTE

Rainforests of Costa Rica

Prix Découvertes Pierre Schaeffer 2021

Mélia Roger & Grégoire Chauvot, Birds and wires
4’47, autoproduction, France

Une clôture fraîchement construite entoure un point d’eau dans la campagne lyonnaise. À l’aube, les oiseaux s’y relaient pour boire. Leurs vols les amènent à se poser sur les fils barbelés, laissant naître des résonances métalliques. Cette phonographie révèle par surprise les traces de la musicalité du paysage.

“Une très belle rencontre sonore avec ces oiseaux acteurs musiciens qui conjuguent les volutes et les mélismes de leur vol avec des ponctuations timbrées des cordes de barbelés tendues comme des contrebasses fantomatiques. Avec une grande maîtrise du son, de sa captation, un art subtil du mixage à peine décelable, Mélia Roger et Grégoire Chauvet nous invitent à goûter cette rencontre du vivant avec l’art sonore comme un instant intriguant et appaisant.” (Jean-Loup Graton, membre du jury)

Mélia Roger (*1996) partage son temps entre le cinéma et l’art sonore. Après un master d’ingénieure du son (ENS Louis-Lumière, FR), elle développe depuis une approche artistique de terrain, explorant l’intimité de la voix et du paysage sonore. Entre Paris et Zurich, elle collabore à différents projets autour de l’écoute.

Grégoire Chauvot (*1992) est passionné d’oiseaux. Diplômé de la Femis, il enregistre le paysage pour construire des histoires, d’abord pour le cinéma et aujourd’hui pour le son seul. Il réalise des prises de son expérimentales à la recherche du beau et de l'inattendu.

he sent us already. These recordings are made with The Telinga Modular:s included mono foam cartridge and George own Sennheiser MKH-8040 microphone. To listen in full quality please download for your own use.

Youth

The sound of a waterfall in a remote part of the rainforest is peaceful and soothing. There is a sweet spot where the balance between the detail of the water sounds and the wildlife calls is just right. Long version at https://youtu.be/PbgIks65fTE

Calm waterfall in the rainforest

In the rainforest, each creature has its own little place in the frequency spectrum or time domain. The apparent chaos is random only when looked at (or listened to, rather) for very short durations. More details at https://youtu.be/E7byvKAJHGU

Costa Rica jungle atmosphere

The sound of soft rain in the rainforest at dawn is bliss. The soundscape is comforting, relaxing, reassuring. It's the perfect ambience for slowing down and immersing yourself into the jungle landscape. Long version at https://youtu.be/5Uk22dxfJJY

Rainy dawn in Costa Rica's rainforest

This unedited and unprocessed recording (from an unattended overnight recording) runs from 05:16 to 06:56. It was recorded at a location about 315 metres from the shore of the Coorong lagoon, at the nearest point, and about 3.5 kilometres from the ocean shore, at the nearest point, on the far side of the dunes that enclose the lagoon, from which the eternal environing ‘Coorong roar’ emanates.

The recording provides a companion piece for ‘2022.03.03 White Ibises Roosting. Night. Coorong. Inland. Late Summer.’ (https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20220303-white-ibises-roosting-night-coorong-inland-late-summer)

96/32 wav to 48/24 flac.

2022.03.03 A Coorong Dawn. Inland. Late Summer.

The rainforest comes alive with sound at night. Listen to the sounds of the jungle for a few minutes and you'll notice a myriad subtle changes. Long version at https://youtu.be/5mRnCsRXwv8

Night in the rainforest

When you're walking in a lush jungle it's very easy to miss small things like termites, ants, snakes or a gorilla (that totally happened by the way). Long version at https://youtu.be/WQa2E4iAnWQ

Dusk in the rainforest

Having collaborated previously on the second instalment of the Sustain Series, Swedish artists Henrik Meierkord and Sole Gipp Ossler come together for a full release - otherworldly vocals atop grounding cello composition.

The sound of a rainforest waking up on a rainy day is incredibly evocative. Heavy raindrops fall on leaves and vegetation all around. Long version at https://youtu.be/fRDUdndLSdE

Ambient II

Various Artists - Ambient II [AR004] preview

An immersive and head-spinning collage of radio broadcasts and field recordings made on location in Syria in 2007 by Jahmorinz. You’ll hear street and market sounds, muezzins, local radio transmissions, local dabke bangers, cats and frogs, a killer Omar Souleyman recording, the eerie groans of a noria or hydropowered wheel, and more.

Microscopic Cookbook is the first album I have ever put out as "Gama." it was published in 2017 by the Osaka collective CHILLMOUNTAIN (♥), which distributed the Cassette in Japan. MC is a piece of music that could've been a movie but turned out to be an abstract radio drama. The 8-track tape tells us a semi-continuous Carrollian story with detailed, microscopic sounds. At the time, my addiction was collecting recordings and making these loose "ASMR" beats; that's how the album got its name.

For the 5th anniversary edition, I've added two tracks that were left out from the original tape, plus new, clearer mixes to give a new life to this record. This version is a modest, intimate celebration, a way to get to know each other better. While I work on new music, perhaps these tracks can show both of us some perspective of now & then.

So fasten your headphones! We are about to dive into a rabbit hole.
