Lojong - Transforming Problems - Part 5

Lojong - Transforming Problems - Part 8

The day before Halloween, we got our first snow of the year in New England. I had been eagerly awaiting this day ever since I saw the first forecasting for snow. 

At about 9am, I packed up my gear and headed to the quietest place in town. Here, I hiked for about a mile before setting up my first recording. Today I used my Sony PCM D100, external SASS binaural microphone, and my trusty Benro Tripod. To keep my D100 from getting wet, I put it inside a dry-bag and clipped it to the tripod.

In total, I captured recordings of 3 unique locations. When I got home, I had about an hour of audio to edit. There wasn't too much noise pollution and I ended up with just under 20 minutes of usable audio. I will be posting one other recording from this trip.

Thank you for reading and listening ♫

Winter Winds And Falling Snow | New England Winter Soundscape

This has been a stormy fall, and in Finland has been already 40 days with stormy wind speeds as the average is 27 a year.  A small, but intense low pressure passed over creating wind speeds up to 31,3 m/s in the gusts and 27 m/s as average. 

I couldn’t resist recording this storm just in our backyard as it was evident when I opened the front door in the morning that this wind is going to make damage. (The picture)

Recording storms creates mostly undefined white noise that’s not very pleasant to listen. But it seems, that when the wind gets hard enough, there occurs (more or less) strange noise patterns with regular shapes that can make it sound interesting. 

In situ I could hear cars passing and chainsaws running.  I hope there’s a bit of this weird noise left in this recording, at least when listening with headphones.

And yes, when the gusts were as strongest, two trees come down. One pine on the roof of our neighbors sauna building 6.50 and an other one with the tree trunk breaking 8.28

"only a chirping insect
told me it was night
so bright was the moon"
-Ochi Etsujin-

this is ¶radio hummingbird's contribution to the Naviar Haiku music challenge volume #363. each week participants are asked to create a piece of music in response to a provided haiku poem (see above).

this piece has been recorded on a eurorack modular synthesizer in one single take. the only outboard effects utilised have been a singing wine glass and a cassette tape echo directly interfaced with the modular. a daw has only been used for a light mastering of the recording.

this week's poem is magic. and so is the track i tried to create in response to it. put it on endless looping and forget about time and space.......

please enjoy.
