Wildlife Recordings

2024 Metamorphose

Soundscapes, Soundscape Ecology, & Acoustic Ecology

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.

In this episode of the Metamorphosen Series, the two Hamburg based DJs, Internet Offline and Junus created an abstract ride trough recent favorites. The recording seems to be haunted, because as if by magic it has disappeared twice. Now it's here! And what a mix it is. Earthy, bubbly and drummy sounds, mystical tones paired with dubby basses. A trancedental roller coaster!

Not least because of their shared passion for music and art, the two often work together and are involved in numerous projects and events. Playing together, listening to each other, trying out and changing new things is evident in this mix!  Four ears hear more than two!

Metamorphosen 38 | Internet Offline and Junus

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.
