Please listen with good headphones, as this is a binaural recording.

At first light, while the overnight rig was still recording down in the Tapanappa Creek valley, I gradually descended into the valley along the track from its western ridge with a lightweight binaural rig (recording into a D100), stopping to sit and enjoy the dawn, while also recording, at several locations along the way. This is a brief excerpt from one of those recordings, featuring a Grey Shrike-thrush in the foreground, with the dawn chorus softly filtering up from the valley below, and the Southern Ocean greeting the red cliffs and rocky shores to the right.

The sound of gentle waves on pebbles, within a small cove at Gialiskari (Palaiochora) beach.

Borneo rainforest dawn | 5-7:30AM, 4°43'38.89'' N 117°36'51.59'' E

The waves breaking, probably one of the most recorded sounds. But I never actually made a proper recording of it. I accidentally drove past the beach when I realized there were no people and there was no wind. A good opportunity to make a recording. Recorded around 21:30hrs on March 5th, 2014.

De branding, waarschijnlijk een van de meest opgenomen geluiden. Maar ik heb er eigenlijk nooit een goeie opname van gemaakt. Ik reed toevallig langs het strand en besefte me dat er èn geen mensen waren èn geen wind. Een mooie gelegenheid om eens een opname te maken. Opgenomen rond 21:30u  op 5 maart 2014.

Nocturnal beach (Scheveningen, March 5th, 2014)

Another beautiful, nameless afternoon moment in Montaña de Oro State Park.

Short meditation from Spooner's Cove

Recorded in 4-channel surround sound beneath a tree in Tamagawadai Kōen (多摩川台公園), Den-en-chōfu, Tokyo, New Year's eve into New Year's day. Distant temple bells can be heard approximately 7hrs and 15min into the recording... Rather homesick for Japan, we have a tradition at home of playing this track in the house all day/night when the time of year comes. I felt it would be special to share it here for those who also appreciate these long, ambient recordings.

Japan, 31 December - 1 January, Tamagawadai Park overnight, 4:45pm-1:30pm

Zrobiłem sobie kolację i zamiast tylko siąść do stołu i zjeść, postanowiłem napalić w kominku i zjeść w takiej atmosferze. W porównaniu do ilości pracy, którą trzeba włożyć w rozpalenie pieca w kotłowni, kominek na drewno to żaden wysiłek i jedynie chwila przygotowania. Zjadłem, wypiłem piwo, a ogień z kilku kawałków modrzewia dalej się palił. Modrzew leżał w ogródku z wyrwanymi z ziemi korzeniami, powalony przez jakąś wichurę, jeszcze zanim tu przyjechałem. Pod koniec lata, kiedy bałem się, że nie będę miał na zimę dość drewna, poszedłem do niego z piłą łańcuchową i pociąłem na kawałki. Porąbany, przeleżał kilka miesięcy w kotłowni, przytulony do pieca węglowego i wysechł na wiór. Jak już teraz go rozpaliłem rozpaliłem, szkoda mi było nie zostać przy ogniu, więc poszedłem po gazetę i rozpoczęty poprzedniego wieczoru artykuł i doczytałem przy kominku.
Z czasem dołączył do mnie kot, pochwalić się upolowaną kulką papieru. Pokręciła się, obwąchała i poocierała się o rejestrator i usiadła zaraz za nim, naturalnie na etui na słuchawki.
Kominek jest zabudowany, ze szklanymi drzwiczkami. Parę minut po rozpaleniu, jak w kominie wytworzy się cug, można je otworzyć i dym nie wydostaje się na pokój. Ogień pali się wolniej niż przy zamkniętych drzwiczkach, kiedy otwarty jest nawiew powietrza. Parę razy zamknąłem drzwi, żeby nawiew rozdmuchał ogień, który powoli przygasał. Przy otwartym kominku ciepło wydostaje się swobodniej do pokoju i jest jeszcze przyjemniej.
Na stole, przy którym siedziałem, leży martwy motyl. Znalazłem go w kotłowni, za jednym z kartonów z rozpałką. Ma rozłożone na płasko skrzydła, a nie jak to przeważnie jest, kiedy zastygają i umierają, złożone. Obrus, na którym leży jest w kwiecisty wzór.

I made myself dinner and instead of just sitting down and eating, I decided to light a fire in the fireplace and eat in this atmosphere. Compared to the amount of work that needs to be put into lighting the furnace in the boiler room, a wood fireplace is no effort and only a moment of preparation. I ate, drank beer, and the fire from several pieces of larch continued to burn. There was a larch in the garden, uprooted, blown down by some gale before I got here. At the end of last summer, when I was afraid that I wouldn't have enough wood for the winter, I went to it with a chainsaw and cut it to pieces. Chopped, it lay for several months in the boiler room, cuddled against the furnace and dried as a bone. Now that I had lit it, I did not want to leave the fire, so I went to get the paper and the article I had started the night before and finished reading it by the fireplace.
At some point, the cat joined me to show off the ball of paper she caught. She hung around, sniffed and rubed against the recorder and sat down right behind it, naturally on the headphone case.
The fireplace is built-in, with a glass door. A few minutes after lighting the fire, when a draft is created in the chimney, it can be opened and the smoke does not escape into the room. The fire burns slower than with the door closed when the air vent is open. I closed the door a couple of times to let the air vents blow on the fire, which was slowly dying out. With an open fireplace, the heat flows more freely into the room and it is even more pleasant.
There is a dead butterfly on the table where I was sitting. I found it in the boiler room, behind one of the tinder boxes. Its wings are spread flat, not folded, as is usually the case when they freeze and die. The tablecloth on which it lies is in a floral pattern.
