Everything is green, brown and grey.

To the left is more forest, as well as some farmlands and a vegetable garden. To the right is more forest, as well as more farmlands. Behind the microphones there is a valley with more farmlands, fields and more vegetable gardens, a few houses, some smallholdings, our smallholding, a rooster. 

Original take is 1h 17min.

Far from perfect recording, in many aspects, but does the work of a daily life snapshot.

Are You Talking To Me (Wings)

The recordings on this page are mainly unprocessed.
Many of these recordings has a natural dynamic, and may seem low in volume compared to most commercial recordings. 
A bit of context is normally supplied under each track.
For a better experience, I recommend you use headphones or a proper sound system.
I also build custom recording-gear for field- and experimental recording.
