Name: Listening Bee hommage to Pauline Oliveros excerpt by SoundOut
Duration: 3 min 12 s
Description: various microphones (contact, Neuman K184; Rodes Nt4 attached to my beehives to sonify the hives.

Decidí probar mis recién llegados micrófonos Clippy EM272 en un humedal urbano de la ciudad de Valdivia, Laguna de los Lotos, Parque Saval.
En la grabación se pueden escuchar un coro de ranas chilenas (Calyptocephalella gayi) y algunas aves (cachañas y treiles).
Es un pequeño extracto de prueba, un trozo libre de ruidos antrópicos. Luego hubo mucho ruido de vehículos y gente, por lo que decidí suspender la grabación. 
Fue una estupenda primera aproximación a los posibles resultados de estos micrófonos, que espero poder probar en condiciones más idóneas para un registro de calidad superior, pero estoy bastante conforme con el resultado.

Minuto en laguna de los Lotos, Valdivia

What you hear in this track are the very high pitched and ultrasonic parts of the crickets songs slowed down and brought into the audible spectrum. Originally these frequencies were mostly between 20 and 40 kHz, well beyond our normal hearing range. 
The result sounds quite unusual, a bit creepy and extraterrestrial but also very cool. It doesn't sound like crickets anymore, more like dinosaurs, I imagine... or a gang of drunk roosters... LOL
