Peaceful crickets, Santa Barbara backyard overnight, 11:30pm-6:30am

Two rigs simultaneously recording the same dawn within the same landscape, located about half a kilometre apart. The beautiful calls of a Pied Butcherbird can be heard from each location. Its first two sequences of calls are nearer to the first location (Perspective 1), in the background of a flurry of foreground bird activity. Its third sequence of calls are very near to the second location (Perspective 2), within a rather different soundscape mood. But all three sequences are heard from both locations, either as distant or as near.

Recorded respectfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

Là Dove Vivono gli Altri, for Saxophone Quartet - LIVE 2023

This work is intended as a meditative companion-piece to an earlier work, https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20211024-night-music-spring, and follows a similar structure. However, it was recorded in an entirely different location (thirty-six kilometres away).

In this piece, the auditory journey of approach towards the distant source has more intervals, and is more gradual, than in the earlier work. Listening to what may be heard along the way is as important as arrival. On this occasion, there is only one Eastern Banjo Frog in the midst of a plenitude of Spotted Marsh Frogs, along with some Brown Tree Frogs and Common Eastern Froglets.

Other than balancing gain levels, the sequence of recordings constituting this work (made during one night at one location) has not been filtered or processed in any way (with the exception only of the final two minutes).

Fixing the volume from the outset to a fairly low level, e.g., around 40 per cent, and certainly not more than 50 per cent, is recommended. What is distant and quiet will gradually become nearer and louder.

Recorded on the land of the Peramangk people.

Lyrics : 

If I was you,
I could lift the world,
cuz you see,
everything here

It has been through
the space of the cloud
and the solitude of myself
It hurts me to go through this
The cloud bed melts me in my dream

It shallow far away
I traveled far away

Everyone is already there,
I'm already

The dreams called me softly
and the night has a better sleep

These recordings are done in AB stereo with omnidirectional microphones. With this technique everything in the field will be equally meaningful, even the silence behind the microphones. That's why you should use headphones!

My recordings are merely like a process than individual tracks, and should be considered in the context of my blog-alike site:  www.baltic.fi

For better quality, the tracks are downloadable as 24 bit flac. For commercial use, please take contact.
