Birds in Zahara - Goldfinch, hoopoe, green woodpecker, blackbird, little owls

Thirteen minutes of chatty starlings coming and going from the trees to a feeder and back. Wonderful variety of tonal and percussive calls.  Occasional sparrows, jackdaws, crows etc.

'Listening to six spaces' (vocals by Gabrielle HB) is an attempt to capture the "sonic soul" (or impulse response, in the dry engineering term) of some of the different spaces that we inhabited during those days, also with our sounds, and that may have an impact in the way that we listened and felt.

This track will also be available to download with the 2019 issue of 'verdure engraved' pdf arts zine: verdureengraved.bandcamp.com

Listening To Six Spaces [binaural]

Beginning of spring, an iron cage with a mix of seeds attracts several birds into it. Two omni-directional microphones tied around the tree trunk capture the incredible wing movement so close that in person it might be nearly impossible to experience.
