No Jay but I really like to listen ravens. Sd MixPre-3 seems very quiet and MKh8020s are of course very good.

I like corvids, their repertoires and the way they fully take up the sound space ! Thanks for the recording.

his was my contribution for Disquiet Junto Project 0617: Haunt Scape

Here’s a copy of my post on the Disquiet Junto 0617 discussion thread:

This week's prompt coincided nicely with a playful Halloween inspired piece I've been working on the past couple days. It's actually something I started a year ago that I never had a chance to complete till now. It's more of a mildly spooky ditty than a haunt scape. 

Used Ableton Live Bouncy Notes and Patter for sequencing. Created a melody track using the Theremin Whistle preset in the Wavetable synth. Additional sound effect tracks were added. Effects plugins included Valhalla Vintage Verb, Aberrant DSP Sketch Cassette and Digitalis. Here's a link to a video version on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m87Dstnf0Q

Notes to this recording:
Last April, I went to a floodplain forest in southern Moravia to capture a bombina bombina at one of the wetlands. No sooner had I settled down on the shore than the bombina bombina starts to call. My son fell asleep in his bicycle seat, it was beautifully quiet, no wind, no people, so ideal conditions. I quickly connected the equipment and started recording. After pressing the record button, I heard a small sport plane approaching me in my headphones. It circled over the wetland and then over the floodplain forest continuously for twenty minutes, yes really twenty minutes. It alternately receded and approached. I cursed quietly and preferably away from the microphones, so luckily my comments are not heard on the recording. The next day I downloaded the recording to my computer and was determined to delete it. But I listened to the recording. Something happened that I didn't expect. From the first seconds, the picture seemed to me as a compositional unit. The hum of the aircraft engine entered the recording with gradually increasing volume and began to create a harmony in the lower frequency band to the call of the bombina bombina. Since then, I listen to nature sounds and the sound environment differently. During the recording session, I took a photo of the location and my son sleeping on the bike. I decided to use it as the cover image for the whole album Jaro because it reminds me of the day I started listening a little "different"

Night Listening means sitting, through the night, in a chosen location, as still and quiet as possible, often for many hours, absorbed in purely listening, while recording. This is an excerpt from a recent Night Listening. It involves three Brushtail Possums, and one Red Fox. The responses of the Possums to the barking of the Fox are very interesting. (Don't start with the volume raised to more than 50 to 60 per cent: some of the fox barks are quite close and loud.)

Recorded on the land of the Kaurna people.

2023.12.28 Night Listening. Night Forest. Red Fox and Brushtail Possums. Early Summer.

Out of all digital recordings that I have made since 1991, this is the one I love the most. The bird is magic. 
Recorded with a Telinga stereo parabol and a Sony DAT TCD-D3 machine in June 1991. No filter.
You don´t need headphones for this track.

A misty, wet and calm day in an old forest reserve searching for Siberian Jay and Capercaille, but with little success. Ravens were active, calling and flying around. I stopped recording when the wind started to pick up and the rain began.
