This is a binaural recording made with a Zoom H4N portable recorder and Roland CS-10em in-ear binaural microphones. That's some pretty fancy stuff, right there. I recorded this on October 7, 2013.

The Precise Sound of Walking on Fallen Leaves

Field recordings and sound art. I'm working with drones; minimal and darker ambient sounds; fuzz and harsh noises; nature & environmental sounds and old home audio tapes found in charity shops. If you download my field recordings I'd love to know how you use them. I've recently started a new experimental music programme on NearFM called The Crooked Button Radio Show.

A crossing of sound countries, sometimes feeding pickings, unexpected surprises in one take, and sometimes hunting far away from home some multi-track sonic creatures, the Paleo-Recordist eardrum resonate...armed with sharp microphones or rudimentary, endless wandering between nature and culture, between city sounds and sounds (out) of the fields, up the stream of water and mountains to the Source of all sounds, the Silence ... Action!

If you don't like my music, it's because there's something wrong w/ you. And that thing that is wrong w/ you is probably a malignant melanoma. See a doctor.

The Sunken Hum Sound Diary: a field recording/sound archive project in 365 parts.

Each and everyday in 2013, I recorded two minutes of sounds from my daily life.  And then, for 365 days in a row, I published the sounds to the internet to share with the world.  


I embarked on this phonographic archive with a voyeuristic curiosity that stemmed from a fascination with how humans  routinely spend their time and with an intrigue into the regular, recurring noises that makes up the soundscape of life. I figured the easiest way to satiate this curiosity was by dissecting my own typical day and doumenting the sounds that routinely weave themselves through my surroundings.  The diary includes everything from solitary chickens singing laments to cattlemart auctioneers chanting the call of farm life to potatoes rumbling as they boxxed in the boiling hot waterpot.  A selection from these daily recordings are shared here.

Capturing the recordings became a meditative practice.  No matter what the chaos of life that was happening around me, for two minutes I could escape into a reality reimagined through headphones.  It was like a peculiar removal from the existing moment.  While the sound of the world became heightened (and nearly more alive) through the headphones, I felt simultaneously disconnected from the present, having become more an observer than a participant.  

In 2019, dublin digital radio (ddr) rebroadcast the diary recordings at 12 pm and 6 pm everyday.  These are the same times at which the Angelus Bell is played for one minute on Irish radio. This is a religious broadcast.  Though I love the idea behind the Angelus (a minute long sound meditation), it is time to separate this meditative moment from anything to do with organised religion.  Instead, I'd love to suggest that we give that moment over to the field recordists of Ireland and let them create a daily one minute broadcast that features the myriad of meditative sounds of the island.  Come on RTE, sure why not?!

My Name is Simon I'm born in 1992 in a little town in Tuscany.
At the age of 4 I begin on studing Drums ​and there my passion for music begins.
I Start on doing ambient music in 2009  with Audacity,once i was only criple sounds with my own hands!
The passion for acustic music is never ended and even now I recording sounds with a Zoom H4N and in my studio i mix the tracks with Reaper and add new sounds like drones and loops.
An Other Thing that i really love of ambient music is the Natural Field Recording,i love to go on woods or in strange places for recording Natural or Folk sounds of the place.
I  think that the field recording is something very important on ambient music and that it deserve more attention form the artists on this beautiful form of Art.
I've released many albums with various thematics.
You can find my albums on Bandcamp.
Enjoy your Journey.
