Recorded with Zoom F3 + Superlux S502, edited in Ableton Live 10. A compilation of few recordings, with one additional layer running throughout the entire piece. It’s my first one, so go easy on me!

Hungover Stroll Through Świerklaniec Park (Sober Me, Not-So-Sober Cousin)

Dusk at the Heronry - Waterbeach Lake. Easter 2025.  The unique sound of herons 'quacking'.  I understand this to be the 'begging call' of young herons at the nest.  Some distance away - I didn't want to get too close and disturb these birds.  I was setting up an overnight recording rig to capture the following morning's dawn chorus.  "Pammy' the binaural dummy head with a pair of MKH8020 mics to a SD MixPre-6. 24/48kHz.

Dusk at the Heronry

I put out a droprig close to a nest of a Grey-headed Woodpecker in an aspen close to a small brook. In this recording you can discern a drumming Grey-headed Woodpecker and later on a dusk-singing Blackbird and Robin. And after sunset you will hear two wolves howl in the distance and in the final minutes a calling Great Grey Owl.

ASMR - small brook at dusk with wolves in the distance

This howl took me by surprise. The wolf call I have heard before is when the parents call to their young in August to September. Often the young wolves join the choir in September. This is obviously quite another call. Discussed it with several colleagues knowledgeable about wolves and we came to the conclusion that this is most likely an 'alpha male' doing this to let other packs or wolves in local territory to stay away. This is the time they are having their pups and if they have young nearby the parents are likely on high alert!

Frogs in a creek at night: Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera).

Note that this is a typical example of a koala's growling being triggered as a response to the distant sound of a vehicle engine (in this instance, probably a light aircraft).

2025.08.09 Night Creek Excerpt 2 (Koala) Omni Mid-Side and Omni AB 63 cm

I managed to use an old bag as a handle bar bag on my bicycle. It was intended to be used for my camera. Then I remembered this bag was used before as a hidden binaural recorder bag with mics left and right in the side pockets. So, I put the mics and the recorder in too. This is the result. A mix of several parts of the tour: departure / climbing up to the Friesenbrücke / walking over the Friesenbrücke / cycling to the Seeschleuse in Papenburg / walking over the Seeschleuse / cycling back home / Arrival.
