Disquiet Junto Project 0516: Outside In (Co/Exist 1 of 3)
The Assignment: Record a minute or two of nature.

This is the first of a three-part project sequence. You can participate in all three parts, or any two of the three, or even just any one of them. Part one began on November 18, part two will begin on November 25, and part three will begin on December 2. Thanks to Alan Bland and Mark Lentczner for having proposed the project.

There is one step for this project: Record a minute or two of nature, whether that be bubbling streams, leaves rustling in the breeze, the sounds of birds and crickets, etc., however it is that you might define nature.

Note that the three-part sequence will eventually draw from this project’s results, so it’s helpful if you set your track for download so that other musicians can make use of it down the road.

Disquiet Junto Project 0516: Outside In (Co/Exist 1 of 3)

This is my contribution to Disquiet Junto Project 0516: "Outside In (Co/Exist 1 of 3)", a first in a series of three. This week's assignment was: Record a minute or two of nature (whatever you understand by "nature"). 

This is a recording made  back in 2019. I was out in the fields, recording, when I was surprised by a light rain and took refuge under an oak tree. The birds kept me company until it stopped raining.

Rain, Birdsong (disquiet0516)

I live near a creek (surrounded by trees in an otherwise urban area) which is fairly near a road. I walked over and recorded around 2 minutes of audio.

Outside In (disquiet0516)

Disquiet Junto Project 0516: Outside In (Co/Exist 1 of 3). Record a minute or two of nature.

I checked my field recordings: I had some nice rain under an umbrella, some frogs and wells and so on … I dismissed all, because I thought in parts 2 and 3 of 3 there might be a need for different sounds. So this is a recording of an electromagnetic landscape with Soma Ether (some crocodile clips to add antenna power), recorded with a Zoom H1n. It's been taken in the countryside, so it might be defined as "nature".

First Light Bird Song (disquiet0516)

Field Recording captured by Leslie Rollins (337is).

A migrating flock of Canada geese surprised and delighted me when I was in the field capturing video footage of a pond surface near my home in Alfred New York. I didn't have my rig completely set up and ready when I began to hear them coming in the distance and kicked into audio field recording mode with the gear I had. The video is rough as a result, and the audio is a bit as well. But, it captures the moment nicely with their sounds and splashing echoing off the surface of the water.
