Beautiful recording.  The calls of the Honeyeaters are crystal clear and sound relatively nearby, with very clear spatial separation between those on the R vs. L and nice mid image.  The constant low frequency background is interesting.  All of my mics are overly-sensitive in the lower frequency range, so its sometimes difficult to determine how much is due to true environmental rumble vs. overly sensitive (low-range) mics.  Thank you for this recording.

Good headphones recommended: binaural recording.

Recorded at around 06:20 (ACDT) near Long Point, Coorong National Park. Singing Honeyeaters (Gavicalis virescens) are one of the first species to call before dawn, often in duet. (The vehicle heard in the distance to the right is the fisherman who can be heard in the following recording.)

No processing. 96/24 wav to 48/24 flac. (The constant low frequency background sound is the signature sound of the Coorong: the sound of the open ocean as filtered by a 130 kilometre (81 mile) barrier of high and wide sand dunes enclosing a saltwater lagoon of equal length. The Coorong lifeworld exists within this incessant enwombing sound.

Recorded on land of the Ngarrindjeri people that is now a national park.

Podczas spaceru usłyszeliśmy z daleka ryczenie. Zmieniliśmy plany i podjechaliśmy w kierunku na Wyszki. Ktoś wypasa tam na zboczu wzgórza, w lesie, stado byków. Byki ryczą i pomrukują. Ryczenie pięknie odbija się echem w małej dolinie. Oglądaliśmy je podczas ich spaceru po zboczu łąki, skubania trawy i ryczenia.
Znowu była to sytuacja zupełnie nieplanowana. Na spacerze miałem ze sobą tylko telefon i to musiało wystarczyć do nagrania.

During our walk we heard a distant roar. We changed our plans and drove towards Wyszki. Someone was grazing a herd of bulls on a hillside, in the forest. The bulls were roaring and growling. The roaring echoed beautifully in the small valley. We watched them as they walked along the slope of the meadow, nibbling grass and roaring.
Again, this was a completely unplanned situation. I only had my phone with me on the walk and that had to be enough for the recording.

This 19 minute recording captures some of the best moments from the 2024 Paralympic Games Blind Football gold medal match between France and Argentina. 

Blind football is a silent sport, meaning the supporters watching from the stands are required to remain silent during play. When there is a stop in play, the crowd cheers and sings making for an interesting soundscape throughout the match. 

This recording captures some key moments of the match, including when France scored a goal and, after the match finished 1-1, we hear the entire penalty shootout.

Recording 4328.	Wetland night.  24th May ’24 – 12.43am.  Near school garden. 	14m30.	Rated 8.	8020’s & MixPre3.  A Spotted Crake calls quite loudly sometimes, while further away some frogs call.   In the distance a Bittern booms sometimes and a Sedge Warbler sings.  Around 8m00 and 10m00 and in the closing seconds is an odd sound.  At around 9m05 the distant Savi’s Warbler can be heard better.   
At 10m05 a moth ? flies by, it sounds like a distant motorbike.  At 13m20 a splash.  The wetland sounds were great, so I set up the 8020s and the MixPre and put it at the mowed viewing spot and began recording, went inside to work, when I came out to stop recording it was a good time to do so because a jet was about to fly over and I could hear some distant music start up.  It was about 1.20am or so when I got to bed.

A herd of red cows approaching us from front and passing by on a warm September noon of 2019 at the hills of Southern Urals. Lots of energetic mooing, shepherd shouts and whistles, some birds chirping and moderate wind. I love this recording for its brutal and raw energy.
Recorded with Nevaton VR FOA mic into Zaxcom Fusion 12, decoded to binaural with Harpex-X plugin. Please listen on headphones for correct spatial reproduction.

Near Kauhajoki in Western Finland is a stream running one mile in a deeper walley. The sound from the stream has an echo interreferring from the walley sides.

Katikankanjonin seinämät heijastavat ääntä ja muodostavat tunnusomaisen interferenssin puron solinaan.
