Soundscapes, Soundscape Ecology, & Acoustic Ecology

The geothermal activity in Iceland is well known, but the natural sounds created by this activity are known by few. 
Recordings are done in A-B Stereo with Schoeps MK4 microphones.
Many hours of recording.

The first episode in a new series of podcasts looking at – and listening to – the sounds of the world around us. The forthcoming instalments will look at all aspects of our noisy cosmos and how we listen to it, the stories we tell about it, and all the ideas, inventions, discoveries, possibilities and ideas that live in the realm of the audible. Written and produced by Tim Hinman. Supported by B&O PLAY

We kick off with the ambitiously titled episode "The Sound Of Life Itself" where we meet field recordist, sound ecologist and musician Bernie Krause.

Nature reserve in Flói 2011 – Part 2
