PWL06 Colombia CostaRica Jungle DEMO

This recording was made on a wooded boardwalk that jutted out into a mountain pond created by beavers. This recording served as an acoustic scouting report of the pond. From this drop rig, I learned what wildlife species exist on the pond, where they call from, and at what times.

During this windy night, my microphones captured pickerel frogs, spring peepers, barred owls, and beaver tail slaps. This upload is a nice ≈ 10min recording of this ambience.

This field recording captures activity around the nesting location of a group of European Bee Eaters. The nests were located in the banks of the river Fiora. The mics and recorder were carefully placed and left to record over a long period so not to disturb the birds. In the background we can hear a Golden Oriole, Skylarks and European Blackcaps.

Participation in the "Disquiet Junto" project led by Marc Weidenbaum.
Creative Destruction. The Assignment: Show how you got to a tortured sound.
https://disquiet.com/0460/

A sound is repeated 40 times.
At the beginning: the sound distorted, destroyed, "tortured".
Gradually the deformations are reduced: we hear the original sound.
And the process of destruction resumes ...

Audio transformations (expansion, delay, reverb) are done with a Pure Data patch:

Comment obtenir un son torturé?
https://disquiet.com/0460/

Un son est répété 40 fois.
Ca commence par le son déformé, détruit, "torturé".
Progressivement les déformations s'atténuent: on entends le son intact.
Et le processus de destruction reprends...
