Common Echoes (binaural walk)

In this podcast for Functional Ecology, Frank Harris sits down with Samuel Ross and Darren O’Connell to discuss their recently published review article in Functional Ecology—Passive acoustic monitoring provides a fresh perspective on fundamental ecological questions.

Sam and Darren hope their review paper motivates the use of passive acoustic monitoring approaches to think about blue-skies research and the grand challenges affecting our planet, because much of what we can learn by recording and experiencing natural soundscapes is fundamental to our knowledge of life on earth.

Passive acoustic monitoring provides a fresh perspective on fundamental ecological questions

equeño extracto de 0.31 segs con un paisaje sonoro de aves de Buenos Aires. Grabación capturada en la Residencia Artística "La Zona" ubicada en el Marquesado (a las afueras de Mar del Plata). Se hace más énfasis al Churrinche (Pyrocephalus rubinus) ave que suele migrar por estos lados en primavera y comienzos del verano. Se le puede ver y escuchar muy seguido cuando hay presencia de aves como Tijereta (Tyrannus savana) o también Fiofío Pico Corto (Elaenia parvirostris) y en este audio también podemos apreciar los sonidos del Ganso común (Anser anser) Picazuró (Patagioenas picazuro), Paloma manchada (Patagioenas maculosa) y Verdón (Embernagra platensis), entre otras especies.

Churrinche (Pyrocephalus rubinus) en el Marquesado - María Emilia Pérez

Pequeño fragmento de varias grabaciones de campo donde se podía apreciar a dos Gavilanes mixtos juveniles y un adulto hembra. También una pareja de Colibrí bronceado (Hylocharis chrysura) tomando el néctar de algunas flores de la plaza Unión Latinoamericana ubicado en Almagro, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina. Pude identificar también otras especies como Tordo Musico (Agelaioides badius), Paloma Doméstica (Columba livia), Hornero (Furnarius rufus) entre otras especies características del paisaje urbano de la gran Capital de Buenos Aires.

Ink Botanic - research extracts (2024)

This is an underwater soundscape collected in a wetland pond in Habataki Park in Fukuoka City (recorded by custom-made hydrophone).
Since the sound could only be heard at the base of the clustered reeds, I assume it was the sound of bubbles from the photosynthesis of the reeds.
The recording is laced with the noise of the reeds swaying in the wind and interfering with the hydrophone cable, as well as the sound of an airplane passing overhead.

Podcasts from the British Ecological Society

Aldarrax is an experimental music and sound art label based in Blanca, a small oasis in the arid regions of Murcia, in southern Spain. The main objective of the label is to connect people and territories through sound, to build community and to make space for experimental sound practices. Half-made music, new collaborations and unorthodox recording techniques are at the core of the label’s editorial line. 

Occasionally, artists are invited to create specific works, proposing collective improvisation sessions to generate spontaneous music. Field recording, soundscape composition and DIY instruments which incorporate local materials are encouraged. We resonate with peripheral, dissident and strange music. Aldarrax holds music as a ritual and animistic tool that strengthens bonds and works on bodies to create altered states of consciousness in autonomous zones. We are interested in repetitiveness, broken rhythms, trance-inducing sounds and durational practices that search for these other realms beyond the human.
