a playlist for a event - something oriental sessions

the oriental sessions

Very similar to Say's Trig (Anaxipha exigua), Thomas's Trigs (Anaxipha n. sp. D) trill at approximately 20 pulses per second rather than 40. Thomas's Trigs are found more often in woody vegetation, while Say's Trigs appear to prefer grasses and coarse weeds.
Recorded with a Sound Devices 702, Sennheiser ME66 at just an inch, no filters. To reduce reflections and reverberations, the insect was in a screened cage and placed in a walk-in closet. Temperature was approximately 24C.

This storm induced nocturnal chorus was recorded near midnight at Deal Island WMA, Somerset County, Maryland. There are Green Treefrogs and Southern Leopard Frogs calling in the foreground. Additionally, there are several species of singing insects; Greater Anglewing, Slightly Musical Conehead Katydid, Black-legged Meadow Katydid, Saltmarsh Meadow Katydid and several species of tree crickets. There was a lot of vehicular traffic that threatened to ruin the recording session. It finally settled down around 11:30 PM, thankfully.

My gear: DIY binaural Mic (coconut shell, a pair of silicone ears), Clippy em272 stereo microphone recorded into Zoom H5,  no post-processing.

Something Rings

Birds sing and the valley cries
A vaguely blurry peach dream
Grasses get wet after the spring rain

鳥が囀り谷が鳴く
ぼんやりとした桃の夢
雨立ち上り草濡れる

Congrats to the 10th Anniversary of Naviar ! 
Thanks for the inspirations from the Naviar Haiku Fest.. and now come to this place again for naviarhaiku530 

An another experimental hypnotic track inspired from the poem of spring rain by kobayashi issa - mixed with the humbled profound Taiko drums from the liveset at Naviar Haiku Fest in Tokyo 2024- a kind of tribute track for the 10th anniversary of Naviar's long journey :)

Spring Rain - 春雨  [naviarhaiku530]

This recording is of a female Northern Cardinal singing from our backyard. She also incorporates the buzzy ending notes that I had previously thought were only done by males. I watched her singing the entire time of the recording. She was within 8 meters of me.

SPRING THRUSH: An early spring dawn chorus featuring Wood Thrush song and Pileated Woodpecker drums and call. 27 April 2013, Connecticut Hill Wildlife Management Area near Ithaca, New York. © Lang Elliott.

Microphone: quasi-binaural SASS (Stereo Ambient Sampling System) modified for use with Sennheiser MKH20 mics.

I'M QUITE PLEASED with this vibrant soundscape, recorded on a fine spring morning in mixed forest in the hills surrounding Ithaca, New York. Note that a Hermit Thrush can be heard singing in the background toward the end. 

I heard the Wood Thrush singing in the distance and approached to what I considered to be a pleasurable listening distance ... maybe a hundred feet or so. The idea was to gather a "species portrait," so I chose to be close enough for the male's songs to come through loud-and-clear, but without being too close and rattling the ear. 

The drums and calls of the Pileated Woodpecker were unexpected ... icing on the cake, so to speak, and helping to round-out the soundscape, giving it more depth and presence. The distant Hermit Thrush is also a positive addition. I'm quite happy with this soundscape and wouldn't change a thing. Thank you nature, for this wonderful, nicely-balanced expression of sound (balanced according to my ear, anyway).
