What do you hear from your window

Early spring on the volcanic island of Nisyros, Greece: Bees swarm over almond trees on the caldera's edge. On the fertile crater soil, livestock graze. Mud pits burble and sulfur vents puff out thick vapor clouds. Solitary men ring the bells, call to their animals, and sing to themselves. Scops owls and bats call into the night.

Alyssa Moxley - Underdrift (Excerpt)

Création sonore réalisée pour l'installation "Galb’Achalay" d'Abdessamad El Montassir en collaboration avec Matthieu Guillin, compositeur.
Composée originellement sur un système 5.1.
Compositeur: Matthieu Guillin
Poésies/poetry : Badi Wel M'hamed Salem
Voix/voice : Wel Sidi


Galb’Achalay puise dans les formes architecturales du Sahara et ses ruines afin de retracer et raviver ses micro-histoires. Composée à partir de poésies du Sahara, Galb’Achalay emprunte aux chants et récits méconnus de ce territoire pour ouvrir un interstice inédit qui laisse émerger et se déployer une histoire dominée. Galb’Achalay est réalisée en étroite complicité par Abdessamad El Montassir et Matthieu Guillin.

Recorded in my garden on Tuesday 4:14:2020 11.00AM - the weather was cold and clear with a little wind. 
I went out to get something in my workshop/shed and heard the sound of a large flock of starlings hanging out in the large spruce in the picture. I've heard a few times before but never had the chance to record them.... there's a few other nice sounds - from other birds as well as people... enjoy
EDIT my neighbour heard the birds as well, and he said they were fieldfares...

Recorded in my garden on Saturday 4:18:2020 1.00PM - the weather was really nice and clear with a little wind. 
I my garden I have a patio with two peartrees growing up agains a wall. The trees are flowering right now, and bees come to visit... I love bees and the sound they make, so I set up my gear to record and went about to do other stuff... You hear me setting up the recorder and walking away, shutting my sliding door and then the sounds of the bees, birds my neighbors, people talking on the dirt road behind my house... sounds pretty normal for a Saturday - maybe a little less traffic, and definitely no airplanes. The track is quite long and unprocessed except for gain setting/normalizing

Recorded in my garden on Monday 4:27:2020 8.00PM - the weather was calm and grey with very little wind. 
Right outside my garde hedge there’s a dirt road - used by the townspeople jogging, walking their dogs and riding horses from the farm close to my house. Tonight I noticed a pair of horses walking on the far end of the dirt road, so I went to set up my microphones to catch them as they walked back to the farm - it took a little longer than I anticipated - but I recorded a lot of other wonderful sounds. The recording starts with the first jet I’ve noticed in a long time… There’s a rumble from the farmers tractor, my neighbors furnace, birds singing and my pigeon pair flying about, a person walking briskly in the gravel  and the kids down the block playing a form of street tennis with their dad having fun - towards the end you hear the woman with the horses returning while they talk… a bee flying close to the mics and a dog barking from a distance and finally me walking back to stop the recording.
The track is unprocessed except for gain setting/normalizing

Recorded in my garden on Friday 5:1:2020 8.00PM - the weather was rainy with very little wind. 
It's been raining on and off all day and I have been trying to get a good recording since this morning. I finally decided to go to the front of my house to set up the mics under a large bush. I wanted to avoid to many drops hitting the mics. That turned out to be a pretty good plan as I mannaged to record the sound of the rain as well as the birds and even a couple of bees taking shelter from the rain. You can hear sounds coming from my house as well as from my neighbors.
The track is unprocessed except for gain setting/normalizing 
Recorded with a pair of LOM Usi's AB 40 into a Sony PCM D 100

Recorded in my front garden on Wednesday 5:6:2020 12 noon - the weather was sunny and pretty windy 
Every year on the first Wednesday of May, exactly at noon, the air raid sirens are tested all over Denmark. They blow them three times 4 minutes apart - the first two signals tell you to go inside and turn on the news, the final one is the “all clear” signal… When I was growing up they tested them every Wednesday - I guess the world is safer now?
I reduced the low end a bit to get rid of some of the wind…other than that, the track is unprocessed except for gain setting/normalizing
