This is a second recording made in 2020 of the fallow deer 'lek'. This happens around in the second half of October in the UK. The males tend to congregate in in small groups or mating territories where they exhibit lekking behaviours such as sticking to particular 'stands' where they will repeating grunt and bellow.

This recording was made with a Sony M10 and a spaced pair of clippy EM172s. The mics were placed where I had observed a large group of rutting males the night before.

Jock Van Vliet: The Lake Within The Lake
In the world of flora, Stellaria Nemorum is the name for forest wall. 
However, the music that Joanna Pavelescu makes under this Latin alias is
certainly not for wallflowers. In fact, the basses and beats on her latest EP "The Lake Within The Lake" 
would blow any kind of vegetation out of the ground.

The titles of both the EP and the
tracks give a good indication of what the listener can expect: a pretty surreal, 
imaginative music trip through time and space. 
A dark journey full of disturbing creaks and moans and industrial 
sounds that occasionally start a surprise attack. With beats that evoke memories of the machine-experimental 
of Speedy J and sometimes relentlessly
grim, Scorn style distorted bass. 
However dark and heavy 
the ambiance is the addition of light with spatial sounds.
  As an accomplished alchemist, Stellaria Nemorum has managed to find an excellent balance in this.

The remixes also come from the Antiloungekamp,
The Hague quality label for electronic music. 
They are from Charly & Gallus (with whom it all started years ago), 
Olaf Wempe (Stellaria Nemorum's former partner in crime as the duo WG @ EET) 
and Foresense, who provides a surprising final chord with jungle beats. 
They all retain the bass-averse character, but are a 
little less heavy in terms of atmosphere.
Light at the end of the dark sonic tunnel. After which a listener with a cleansed soul and new energy can face 
everyday life again. 
After many years of musical pause, Stellaria Nemorum came back strongly with this extensive EP.
