Enregistrements réalisés par Francis de Frescheville les 23 et 24 avril 2017 dans la forêt du Risoux, dans le Jura. L'écoute au casque est indispensable pour localiser les diverses sources sonores.
	Micros Sennheiser MKH-20 et enregistreur Tascam HD-P2.
	C'est une sorte de reportage sur le manège des tétras, décrit en six plages enregistrées avec les mêmes réglages. Ces séquences sont placées l'une après l'autre, séparées par un silence de deux secondes.
	1 - La nuit tombe. Les Tétras débarquent et s'installent dans les épicéas. On entend au loin un Moyen-duc et une Chouette de Tengmalm.
	2 - Cinq tétras égrènent leur chant dans le calme de la nuit.
	3 - La nuit se termine. Merles à plastron, puis Grives musiciennes. On entend une Bécasse.
	4 - Le jour est levé, l'ambiance s'enrichit, les tétras sont plus assurés, mais toujours branchés.
	5 - Les tétras descendent au sol et commencent leur parade. Les hoquets répétés viennent de deux grands corbeaux. On entend aussi un élevage d'huskies.
	6 - Affrontement de deux tétras et reconduite à la frontière.

Coucou gris à 3 notes arboretum des Grands Murcins à Arcon(42)

Recorded shortly after a shower during the rainy season in the Atlantic Forest Reserve Mbaracayú, Paraguay. 

This dusk chorus climax is dominated by amphibians. After some initial research, the species heard are Leptodactylus elenae (or fuscus?), Leptodactylus mystacinus and a Dendrosophus (minutus or nanus). 

If anyone reading this can help to confirm or correct any of the ID, please get in touch. Thank you for listening!

"premonitions" by @alenakoroleva [fom10]
CS/DL : f-o-m.bandcamp.com/album/premonitions

“Whenever I go, I can't help but notice signs of a looming change. I eavesdrop on conversations of creatures big and small, and like me, they seem uneasy and uncertain about what's to come. Something is in the air, dark clouds gather, winds are shifting course. Amidst the confusion and restlessness, the voices of non-human and human worlds blend in a worrisome symphony. This piece is an ode to anticipation, to the beauty of different forms of life on the brink of the sixth mass extinction. Joining in the chorus are the American toad, northern winds, an old kettle, Mr. Cat, tawny owl, crickets, domestic chickens and pigs, trumpeter swans, honey bees, truck horns, cormorants, seagulls and other elements and critters.” — Alëna Korolëva 

Something is afoot, the Tkaronto/Toronto-based artist and curator, Alëna Korolëva tells us in her new soundscape composition “premonitions”. American toads and water beetles set things in motion before the long-form piece journeys through a multitude of field recordings and non-human voices in a quasi-cinematographic fashion. Korolëva layers and manipulates sounds from the real into a sonic chimaera which mutates concrete ambiances into vaporous surrealities through the modes of collage. A storm blankets the soundscape, things grow quieter. Distant parallels with Luc Ferrari’s "musique anecdotique" come to mind, yet here the piece materializes in an acoustic docu-fiction of some sort, that takes the form of a waking dream. Various scenes, ranging from the mundane to the uncanny, unfold in eardrums exposing an underlying sense of earthly melancholy. A weight lurks throughout while winds, pigs, chickens, and mechanical apparatus weave into a strange agitated tapestry. A kettle whistles, a cat meows – Korolëva sprinkles the gloom with touches of humor and audible senses of home. Trumpeter swans are joined by a trumpeter human; Chayka Chekhov responds to the avian songs in a interspecies dialogue – echoing Jim Nollman’s “Playing Music With Animals”. Environments cascade into a finale droned out by truck horns. Their ringings and animal cries swell in a somber abstraction bearing the weight of a presentiment. “What does the future hold?” we ask ourselves throughout the album as we dissolve in imbrications of positionings, emanating from one another like stacking dolls. Poly-layered, “premonitions” engages in play, in negotiation with the disparate spaces and voices of a troubled world as if it created harmonious discord to decipher the ominous clouds gathering in the horizon.

Ploughing aural fields in remote North.

Field recordist, bird watcher and a digitized former darkroom rat living in little Makholma village on the West Coast of Finland by the Baltic Sea - 61N 21E

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.
