A herd of red cows approaching us from front and passing by on a warm September noon of 2019 at the hills of Southern Urals. Lots of energetic mooing, shepherd shouts and whistles, some birds chirping and moderate wind. I love this recording for its brutal and raw energy.
Recorded with Nevaton VR FOA mic into Zaxcom Fusion 12, decoded to binaural with Harpex-X plugin. Please listen on headphones for correct spatial reproduction.

For a long time I wanted to record a really surrounding, enveloping and moving wind through reed. I found the perfect conditions at the forest lakes in Karelia. This track sounds like some witches are chattering around, whispering their spells. 
Description: LAKE MARSH-near wooded shore. Summer. Morning 10 55. Wind gusts rustling, whispering, chattering scary through dry reed and leaves, Birds chirping faint. Mic surrounded by reed, facing shore
Recorded with Nevaton MC50 Quad into Zaxcom Fusion 12. Stereo Mix of Front and a bit of Rear channels.
This recording is a part of the "Northern Europe Vol. 2 Lakeside Ambiences Summer" sound effects library

Jared Blake is one of the most important human voices in the natural world today. His unceasing commitment to exhort us all to slow down and listen to the voices of the natural world, to work hard to understand what we're being told, is a cause and effort to be celebrated. in this episode, Jared tells us about his months-long recording expedition to the American Southwest, and about the extraordinary, often eerie, voices he heard while in the wild.

Fruition

An electric arc furnace running a "meltdown" process. Think of it as a giant arc welder. Three giant electrodes, each 8 feet tall and 1 foot across, create a continuous electrical arcing for melting and mixing ingredients used in industrial steel casting. The electrodes never touch the steel themselves, and it's the radiant heat of over 2400° F that melts the ingredients!
The furnace itself is 20 feet across and spits out tiny globs of melted steel throughout the process. Because of the danger, I could only come within 30 feet. Even at that distance, it's once of the loudest things I've ever recorded. With pads on both mics and the level on my 702 nearly all the way down, this still peaked around -9 when recording. Thank goodness for hearing protection!

Recording of a vintage kids' cash register. Haven't cleaned up anything, just wanted to quickly share some snippets of what it sounds like. Recorded with a Sanken CO100k. I've got about 18 minutes of it making various noises.
