This is a bit from overnight unattended recording. I woke up with uneasy feeling as the sound resembled Shahed drone sounds I have heard from youtube videos. It was still pretty dark (4:50 AM).  

Drone sound in the night

Recorded with clippies em272 and mxpre 6ii at 192 kHz (32bit float), slowed down to 1/20 of the original speed and rendered to 24bit/48 kHz

I had a lovely time in the Siggefora wolf territory. My droprigs did not catch any wolves unfortunately but two singing males Great Grey Owls, two Ural Owls and two Pygmy Owls in addition to Red Deer and Fallow Deer. But the best recording was that of a singing Hazel Grouse. During the autumn they sing quite actively pairing up for next Spring.

Somehow, it was quite touching to listen to these little creatures, munching their way into a mushroom somewhere from below. I suppose they might be very small worms, but I did not see them, so I am not sure.

Recorded between between 8 pm and 9 pm on a Tuesday night with a pair of NT55 omni microphones in a baffled AB array with 20 cm spacing into a MixPre-3. In the quieter moments, before and after the storm's passage, there is some background sound of machinery humming and workers moving things around at a nearby quarry. And of one low-flying propellered passenger plane passing over, heading to land at a small local airport; they don't usually fly this way, but were probably avoiding the oncoming storm. And of one possum.

The location is the same as in '2018.08.05 Night Rain and Tree Falling in Winter (Excerpt)' (https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20180805-night-rain-and-tree-falling-in-winter-excerpt), which was recorded two months earlier, after midnight, on a Sunday morning, in late winter.

(Best listened to with good quality headphones with a flat frequency response.)

Campfire Stories 70 (The Solace of Water) by Chryslsm

~ About The Story ~

With those lonely bare branches,
Goodbye kisses of the dropping leaves,
And lonely leaves gathered into heaps,
Street scenes with yellowish tint,
Like it was washed with calmness.
Somehow this season gives solace.

Manu Zain - I Am

I was inspired by a particularly cool evening in the midst of the summer months. I wrote this song to reflect that as well as the feelings I felt at the time. 

“If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore; and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God which had been shown! But every night come out these envoys of beauty, and light the universe with their admonishing smile.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nature and Selected Essays

a taste of the orient.

Migrating Cranes are gathering on strategic places along the coast two-three weeks before leaving the country. This is from an overnight recording inside a barn in Preiviiki Fields not long away from here.

The wind was a strong North Westerly with small showers and very gusty. Five days later the Crane was gone. Listen with headphones, thanks!
