Really enjoyable recording! Like a modern wind instrument composition

Good headphones recommended: binaural recording.

Recorded at around 06:20 (ACDT) near Long Point, Coorong National Park. Singing Honeyeaters (Gavicalis virescens) are one of the first species to call before dawn, often in duet. (The vehicle heard in the distance to the right is the fisherman who can be heard in the following recording.)

No processing. 96/24 wav to 48/24 flac. (The constant low frequency background sound is the signature sound of the Coorong: the sound of the open ocean as filtered by a 130 kilometre (81 mile) barrier of high and wide sand dunes enclosing a saltwater lagoon of equal length. The Coorong lifeworld exists within this incessant enwombing sound. Cf. https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20220303-sound-of-the-coorong-before-dawn-long-point-summer, and https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20200413-the-sound-of-the-coorong-kurangk.)

Recorded on land of the Ngarrindjeri people that is now a national park.

2022.03.03 Singing Honeyeaters. Dawn. Coorong. Late Summer.

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.

220725 A Quiet Night in the Woods

Last year I captured calls from two chatting adult Whooper Swans at the Bothnian coast. This year they were accompanied by two juveniles. One night the conversation between the swans was intense, it almost felt listening to a concerto.

Alarma latitud 38º

La intuición nos permite percibir/sentir - “saber” sin hacer uso del intelecto, estar un poco fuera del concepto del tiempo. La intuición junto con el instinto pueden llegar a ponernos en situación de alerta, captando información por  canales de comunicación no convencionales, que nos empujan a actuar de un modo en particular. Los animales además de actuar mayormente por su instinto, poseen una gran sensibilidad que les permite percibir el peligro, sentirlo antes de que algo ocurra. Su conexión con el planeta suele ser mucho más profunda que la nuestra.
Los movimientos telúricos de gran escala serán la amenaza en esta pieza sonora. Dichos movimientos de placas tectónicas son más frecuentes en algunas partes del planeta, pero el extractivismo, en particular obtener el petróleo por medio de la Fracturación Hidráulica, son factores que posiblemente aumenten el riesgo de que se produzcan terremotos, maremotos y Tsunamis en zonas donde antes no eran comunes.
Una Isla rodeada por el océano con un gran índice de tsunamis, y una ciudad pegada al océano en la que desde mas de medio siglo no se registran, son los diferentes lugares en donde se hicieron las grabaciones.
Bajo este contexto, los animales puedan captar  mensajes que les permiten predecir estos desastres y quizá también lo seres humanos puedan entrar en sintonía con esas frecuencias.

Una alarma de alerta de la ciudad de Te Puke (Nueva Zelanda) daba alerta de un Tsunami.
De forma ficticia, se muestra cual podría ser el posible comportamiento sonoro de animales, ante la espera de un Tsunami. En la pieza se trabajaron diferentes grabaciones de campo, todas de características y timbres diferentes provenientes de  chicharras, lobos marinos, el sonido de las olas del mar rompiendo en la orilla de la playa, gotas chocando con el piso de una cueva pegada al mar, grillos, el canto de diferentes aves, gritos de personas y una alarma de bomberos. Todos los sonidos fueron grabados en diferentes lugares, todos ubicados aproximadamente en la latitud 38º del planeta Tierra. Esto comprende a Mar del Plata, Argentina y dos pueblos de la región de Bay of Plenty, Te Puke y Papamoa, Aoteaora.

Grabación realizadas durante el 2019 y el 2022

Cervus elaphus hispanicus refers to the red deer of Portugal and Spain. It's slightly smaller than those across the Pyrenees.
The rutting season (referred to as 'brama' in Portugal) starts mid-August and goes until the end of September. 
The recording was in an area in interior Alentejo where wild boars and white-tailed deer live in big numbers and all can be heard throughout this segment.
