Night in the Amazon jungle

Fields We Found is a new direct-to-tape project, heralding back to some of the founding techniques of ambient music. Performed live and recorded to 1/4" tape, 'Thanks' utilises the space between its swells of electronic and sampled tones, intertwining layers of charming melody.

’Thanks’ is an album of simplicity, inspiration and most of all, gratitude.

There are few sounds more calming and soothing than the sound of water, especially when filtered through a medium that subtly dampens the high frequencies. Recorded with Sound Devices Mixpre 6ii and Sennheiser MKH 8020. Long version at https://youtu.be/-yfO4qiTRrA

UI Media Network founder Tim Ray discusses the tyranny enveloping the globe, something he says he has been expecting for decades. He gives his take on the global elites, their machinations, and the courage required to resist them and the totalitarian policies they are attempting to implement. He fears a true catastrophic crisis may be just around the corner, which will be a catalyst for even more draconian restrictions. He talks about his struggles with censorship and why he thinks people have a hard time psychologically coming to terms with our dark reality. Finally, he shares some solutions.

Tim Ray: Resisting the New Normal World Order #213

Night falls in the Serengeti-Mara savanna. The deep calls of lions resonate through the plains while a hippo lazily moves in the water hole nearby. A thick insect chorus creates a constant background while distant Eagle and Scops owls can be heard occasionally.  Long version at https://youtu.be/STVEYauGOU4

Dusk in the Serengeti

Dawn and dusk in the Amazon rainforest are particularly lush when it comes to biophony, especially by a slow flowing river. The stark contrast between the beauty of birdsong and the shrill urgency of insect calls is never as evident. Long version at https://youtu.be/Rq6eMZyVFtk

Dusk By The River In The Amazon Rainforest

The symphony of wildlife in the rainforest is more minimalistic but piercing and almost electronic. It takes a while to get accustomed to being surrounded by these sounds, but once you do it's like they've always been there. Long version at https://youtu.be/TiMJASuJmFg

In celebration of the Equinox, I camped and recorded nature sounds in the Pachaug State Forest in Connecticut on September 22nd, 2021.

Although Connecticut is my home state, this was my first overnight field recording trip. That's because Connecticut is not a great state for recording quiet nature sounds. Connecticut has zero national forests, zero national parks (not counting historic sites), and zero BLM land.

Since the Pachaug State Forest is the largest forest in the state (27,000 acres), I thought it was my best chance at recording silence. Although I did capture some noise pollution free sounds, it was challenging and most of my recordings were polluted even late into the night, primarily by vehicle noise. 

Most of these recordings were made possible thanks to rain and wind overpowering the noise pollution, rendering it inaudible.

The jungles of the Amazon are calm and still on a hot afternoon. There's a piercing insect chorus - frogs call occasionally - every now and then a bird chirps half-heartedly. Long version at https://youtu.be/l-v3GNgPR78
