Amado Mio

Congregants from 21 Lake Providence, Louisiana area Baptist churches gathered under the hot and humid early-morning August skies of Lake Providence in 2015 to be baptized, the culmination of an annual retreat of prayer and fellowship. Dressed in white from head to toe, children and adults gingerly walked down the slick and muddy bank, past poison ivy and bald cypress tree knees, and into awaiting arms of preachers that shouted out Jesus’ name before having their heads dunked in murky dark roast coffee-colored water.

This is an excerpt - just one preacher in this clip - from the 42-minute baptism.

I've attended the event as a photojournalist several times, and every time I go away feeling better than I did on the long and boring drive up to this financially-strapped town with an oxbow lake in the Mississippi Delta.

Recording note: 2 Line Audio CM3’s housed in a DIY ORTF mount, tracked to a Sony PCM-M10 with a SD Mix-Pre D on the front end.

There's two old empty oil storage tanks beside Tahkoluoto harbor. The tanks are closed, but have one open maintenance hatch through I put the microphones inside. I waited for a stormy day to do that, and so it sounds. Headphones recommended!

This recording is part of "What do you hear from your window?" Initiated by Gilles Malatray - a form of Sound Walking without leaving your house during the outbreak of Covid19.  Link further down
Recorded in my garden on Saturday 3/21/2020 11AM the weather is cold and clear, with a little wind from the Northeast -  if you look closely you can see my microphones on the lawn. The track begins and ends with my footsteps going and coming - I left it in just because.... 
It was pretty quiet, there's a horse farm close too my house and you can hear the sound from his Bobcat excavator, there's birds of course, the wind rustling the dead leaves on the hedge, my neighbors going about their business and towards the end of the recording you can actually hear a fly close to the mics... 
I recorded with 2 Lewitt LCT 540´s in NOS and Sound Devices MixPre3 II 32 Bit float.

The epicenter of the epicenter. Dystopian vibes. 
Capturing the new sound of Times Square during the coronavirus pandemic.
March 23, 2020 1am
46th St and Broadway, right next to the George M. Cohan statue

Aside from law enforcement, who were stationed every block or so from about 50th street down to 42nd street, and a few foot patrols, Times Square was empty for the most part.
A few homeless people wandered around, and a few people, curious like me, were roaming around as well.
At most, I counted around 10 people in Times Square at one point.


Gear used:
Sounddevices Mix-Pre 3M
Usi Pro mics with Bubblebee Windbubbles

Every day during my Shelter-in-place order for COVID-19, I will be posting an ambience that I've recorded from somewhere around the world.

[#2] Michigan's Copper Country was home to one of the first major mineral booms in the United States.  Hundreds of undocumented mining sites still dot the region waiting to be discovered.  Hidden deep in the forest, this partially submerged 150-foot adit is a home to bats who suffer from White Nose Syndrome.

Rain falling on the branches of a dead mopane tree in the Namib desert. Recorded with Sony PCM D10 and a pair of Lom mikroUsi microphones taped to the dry branches. Read about my epedition to Namibia at https://mindful-audio.com/blog/namibia-sound-recording-2020

Chromatic Rain

Recorded earlier this year while Lucia and I went out to capture the sunrise at Sharkfin Cove. Recorded using the MiPre 3 II in 32-bit float mode with two Clippy EM272 lavalier microphones about a foot apart on a coat hanger stuck into the sand. Normalized the audio and applied some EQ. Any recommended adjustments for processing would be appreciated! Enjoy the sound of some waves in a cave :)
