Húsavík: þang og þari

Unedited sample of a midday recording of a flock of Eider with chicks, made on the Faxaflói shore of the Seltjarnarnes township in Greater Reykjavík. 

It is hard to believe that this location is adjacent to a major Reykjavík suburb and less than 5km from the busy city centre.

Early one morning at the beginning of July: a natural soundscape recording made on Orford Ness, 2016.

Orfordness Morning

Contact microphone recording made on the stair railing of the old Bomb Ballistics Building, AWRE Orford Ness. Many thanks to an unknown National Trust warden who made an unwitting addition to this take and in doing so summoned the spirits of a long-gone generation of weapons researchers.
