Iceland sound diary - May 2015

seagulls

Stumbled upon this iced up fence at the point where a constructed lake flows back into the fjord.

A four channel hydrophone recording taken between two trawlers, one making a low slapping sound, the other a high leak. You can also hear a trawler being unloaded by a small fixed crane in the background, and some gulls.

This is the mics attached to ice, as opposed to the fence, quite a different sound.

I climbed a big mountain, and an old ski lift tower to get this contact mic recording of the cable for the ski lift. Really very scary but amazing.

A hydrophone recording where you can make out the rubbing of ice, seaweed and in the distance the tapping of seagulls' feet as they take to the air.
