Name: Roesel's Bush-cricket & Gentle Waves by Irish Wildlife Sounds
Duration: 3 min 8 s
Description: Calling song of a Roesel's Bush-cricket along a stretch of sandy coastal grass in Co. Cork, Ireland. This is one of only two (as far as I am aware) known Irish sites for this wonderful species. It sounds to me like the buzz of electricity from a wet pylon.

Two years ago, I buried a bathtub in our garden. Birds go to bathe in it, drink and drink insects. The wife also planted aquatic plants in it. Below the water surface of this small reservoir, there is a fragile, inconspicuous sound world.

Location: Židlochovice, Czech Republic
Date: June 2021
Starting of recording: 14pm

Fallow Recordings is pleased to present ")When what" by the adept artist Wodwo. 
Wodwo crafts narrative-driven musical collages using guitars, effect pedals & improvising. 
")When what" is a work of pure exploration & showcases Wodwos style in it's most minimal form. 

Think of noisy amplifiers, … herz hum… unresolved phrases…

Wodwo - )When What Decides

There's less wildlife activity in cloud forests than in the rainforests but the sounds you might come across can be pretty unique.

Located on the top of a hill above the river so you can hear some distant pink noise. It was 6:00 morning time after spending the night camping deep inside the cloud forest of Cueva de Los Guacharos national park.

This was the night ambience being kilometers away, over the mountains from the nearest rural settlement.

Cueva de Los Guácharos is a 90 km2 protected area of dense preserved forests and thick vegetation. It's the last mountain before the Amazon basin. The highest peak reaches 2621m. Only a tiny bit of a park can be accessed by trails but the majority is entirely inaccessible. There are areas and surely caves that are undiscovered. The 90 km2 size does not seem so much but thick vegetation with steep slopes, avalanches makes this place very difficult to access.

Morning in the Colombian Cloud Forest

Three different moments within a quiet windless night. This is not an exceptional recording but I like the atmosphere anyway.
A howl, a fox and a blackbird can be heard as well as a frog and probably some rodents close to the tripod.
The microphones and the recorder have been left the whole night.
The photo has been shot in the morning when I came back to pick the stuff up.

Recorded with a Nagra Ares BB+, Neumann KM184, ORTF near my house, in la Creuse, France.

Sionskoe Lake

The last days of February were colder and a solid ice of about three inches formed partially one mile out to sea. The Whooper Swans had arrived past week but what I think could be Bean Goose appeared for the first time. At 9 min a fox is crying. 

The sea water was rising due to an arriving low front. This and because the ice was new and solid, causes the crackling sounds. I was lucky to experience this, as it is absolutely not a common phenomenon, at least not here by the sea shore.  The picture with a big Venus and new moon was taken during the recording.

I recorded this soundscape at my friend's cabin in Vermont near the Green Mountain National Forest. The forest was covered in a thick layer of ice from a recent freezing rain storm. 

While I was chopping wood, I noticed the sound of ice crystals falling to the forest floor and shattering. The sound was constant and gusts of wind caused larger crystals to fall. 

As soon as I became aware of this subtle sound, I knew I had to record it. Because I didn't know how much battery life I would get in the frigid temps (15°F), I waited until 11pm to setup my recording gear. I did this to maximize my chance at a noise-pollution-free recording hoping that most people would be asleep.

To setup the recording I wanted to bungee cord my binaural microphone to a tree, but it was too difficult and too cold to have the patience necessary to get it right. Instead, I simply put the microphone on top of a snow bank facing the forest and the D100 in a dry bag next to it.

I was shocked to find the D100 still recording when I returned at 7:26am.

In total, I recorded for 8hr 22min and ended up with 23min of usable audio (≈4.6%). In post-production, I added a lo-cut filter at 180Hz, 12dB/octave to remove some low-frequency wind rumbling, and increased the loudness slightly to -30LKFS. 

Recorder: D100
Mics: DIY Binaural Housing
Sensitivity: 4
Lo-cut: OFF
Time: 11:04pm
Wind Protection: 2 Winter Hats

Shattering Ice Forest | Freezing Rain Aftermath in Vermont

On a mission to sound record all of Ireland's bird species: I am an ornithologist who loves to get out in and sound record nature. Happiest when as far away from anthropogenic noise as possible, although I do and will record and share it now and then, when I am in an interesting location.

This account is intended to host my longer bird recordings and recordings which don't belong on Xeno-canto (general nature sounds such as waves, weather, etc, as well as any other non-avian sounds)

Most of my birds recordings (almost 5000) can be found on my Xeno-canto page: https://xeno-canto.org/contributor/PAEQEUHPFQ

See my website here: http://irishwildlifesounds.com/

I primarily record with the following:

-Dodotronic Hi-Sound Stereo Parabola
-Audio Technica BP4025
-Clippy EM272 matched pair

-Zoom F6
-Olympus LS-12
-SM4 Mini: 2 x permanent devices living in coastal bird hotspots, recording every night of the year, from dusk to dawn, monitoring nocturnal migration of birds.
