Name: Hawaii - Wind In The Bamboo Forest - 25 minutes of Nature by Nicholas McMahan
Duration: 25 min

Beautiful recording! Feels like I'm right there.

I've listened numerous times and will continue to do so because it brought back a childhood memory of when I lived next to a bamboo forest. Nicholas, thanks for sharing that.

What are the clacking and knocking sounds?   Are they bamboo knocking against others in the wind?   Interesting!

It's the end of June. Most birds are engaged in breeding chicks or the chicks have already left the nest. There aren't many forest birds who sing anymore. I find Icterine Warbler singing in the black alder forest. At some point, Wren will join him. 
Recording contains sound that sounds like white noise. The air is no longer crystal clear like the mornings of May. Wind in the leaves, the insects and maybe my new pair of em-172 microphones are contributing to this. From time to time there is a knocking sound, these are two trunks of trees that are pushed together by the wind. The photo was taken exactly where the sound was recorded. I believe there is some kind of crepis in the picture

While visiting Hawaii in March of 2022 I enjoyed unique patches of the bamboo forest on Maui. The sound of the environment completely changed as soon as I entered the thick forest. In the dense bamboo a compelling percussive sound starts in the distance and ebbed toward me as the wind swayed the tall skinny shoots. Clicking and clacking together it felt as if this spontaneous rhythm passed through me.

A unique soundscape from the lower Amazon Basin in Ecuador. A natural cacophony of insects, amphibious critters, aves, and more. This is a recording from a trip I took to Ecuador in 2020.

Just off the road to Alofi is the Kalaone seatrack, on my morning walk I noted this location and came back when the tide was at it's lowest point.

Kalaone Reef hydrophone

A magical frog and insect chorus recorded in a swampy area deep in the rainforest. Listen in particular for the remarkable and otherworldly mumbling and churring calls of an unidentified frog, periodically sounding off from trees overhead. Note: This is a binaural recording so please listen using headphones.

I recorded this soundscape at my friend's cabin in Vermont near the Green Mountain National Forest. The forest was covered in a thick layer of ice from a recent freezing rain storm. 

While I was chopping wood, I noticed the sound of ice crystals falling to the forest floor and shattering. The sound was constant and gusts of wind caused larger crystals to fall. 

As soon as I became aware of this subtle sound, I knew I had to record it. Because I didn't know how much battery life I would get in the frigid temps (15°F), I waited until 11pm to setup my recording gear. I did this to maximize my chance at a noise-pollution-free recording hoping that most people would be asleep.

To setup the recording I wanted to bungee cord my binaural microphone to a tree, but it was too difficult and too cold to have the patience necessary to get it right. Instead, I simply put the microphone on top of a snow bank facing the forest and the D100 in a dry bag next to it.

I was shocked to find the D100 still recording when I returned at 7:26am.

In total, I recorded for 8hr 22min and ended up with 23min of usable audio (≈4.6%). In post-production, I added a lo-cut filter at 180Hz, 12dB/octave to remove some low-frequency wind rumbling, and increased the loudness slightly to -30LKFS. 

Recorder: D100
Mics: DIY Binaural Housing
Sensitivity: 4
Lo-cut: OFF
Time: 11:04pm
Wind Protection: 2 Winter Hats
