Field Recording- Mountain Chapel Bells - July 2024

Field Recording- Swiss Mountain Rain - July 2024

The sound design community lost one of its brightest stars this week, with the passing of Ann Kroeber.  Ann was a legendary field recordists and she left a legacy of amazing sound work.  Her talent especially soared with animal recordings.  Her sounds are the basis of countless Hollywood creatures and animal characters.  Tonebenders' host Tim Muirhead starts this episode with a few stories of  his interactions with Ann that illustrate what a great person she was.  Then we will roll into the full original interview Ann did with Tonebenders in May 2014.   This is a fantastic interview that is very much worth a listen if you missed it a decade ago.  We hope that playing this episode again can help keep her memory close to us all.  She will be missed greatly.

269 - Remembering Ann Kroeber

[PL, EN below]
Pomiędzy filmami na Festiwalu Nowe Horyzonty, główna klatka schodowa w budynku Kino Nowe Horyzonty. Są momenty spokojniejsze i takie, kiedy kończy się seans i widzowie się kręcą. Wtedy też łatwiej o gwar, z którego nie wybija się żadna prywatna rozmowa.
Zawsze zwracał moją uwagę charakterystyczny dźwięk piszczących podeszw na podłodze. Przy większym ruchu jest to dość częste.

Between films at the New Horizons Festival, the main staircase in the New Horizons Cinema building. There are quieter moments and moments when the show ends and the audience moves around. With all the bustling it is easier to to capture something without any private conversation standing out.
The characteristic sound of squeaking soles on the floor always caught my attention. With more people moving around this sound is quite frequent.

I put out the drop rig to record owls but set it up during night and did not see that at the base of the pine was a wood ant nest. The recording was "ruined" by lots of wood ants going up the trunk during the night. Was unaware how much "noise" they create but it can perhaps be used as ASMR for relaxation :)

(since all ants passed by only one of the microphones I converted the recording to mono)

'severe thunderstorm' rolled through here this morning, which was nice. the conditions were ideal for this audio recording as it was only a bit breezy, not too windy, even though i have a really decent muff for my Zoom recorder it can only muffle so much wind noise.

"Soundscapes reveal a lot about how people think and behave." The field recordist and musician talks about listening culture, repatriating African sounds and his new album with The Bug.

Today's conversation moves away from the dance floor, focusing instead on the soft, ambient soundscapes of the Berlin-based musician Joseph Kamaru—AKA KMRU—whose work has been featured at festivals like CTM, Mutek, Atonal, Horst Music and Arts, Dekmantel, and Unsound; concert halls like The Barbican; and major galleries and site-specific installations around the world. 

Kamaru moved to Europe from Nairobi, where he first became interested in music production, and field recordings specifically. As a graduate student in the sonic arts, he learned that the majority of the discourse around sound art practices is specific to Western Eurocentric or occidental ways of thinking. He's since embarked on a mission to use field recording as a means of repatriating African identities that are often left out of institutional archives and grapple with the legacy of colonialism. 

In this RA Exchange, Kamaru reflects on the sociopolitical angle of his work, and his observation that listening, by its very nature, is never neutral. He also talks about how civilisation and technology has changed our collective listening habits; how sound sources beyond the human hearing range make their way into his work with the use of electromagnetic microphones; and his new album, Disconnect, made with the musician Kevin Richard Martin (AKA The Bug). Listen to the episode in full.

Przy okazji urlopu w Tatrach odwiedziliśmy też Zakopane. Okazuje się, że przy Sanktuarium Najświętszej Rodziny jest całoroczna ruchoma szokpa. Po wrzuceniu monety do skarbony rusza mechanizm, nagrany głos mówi "Bóg zapłać" głosem dziecka i - co interesujące - na początku dodatkowo raz głosem dorosłego mężczyzny. Czyżby to ktoś znamienity?
Bardzo lubię wszystkie dźwięki wynikające z ruchomości ruchomej szopki. Piszczące taśmy niosące lalki, stukające siekierki lalek udających rąbanie drzewa, szum mechanizmu. Zawsze żal mi, że ktoś podejmuje decyzję, żeby odtworzyć też z wątpliwej jakości głośniczka jakieś kolędy wykrzykiwane przez bandę dzieci. Ale może to konieczny element uroku.

During our holiday in the Tatra Mountains, we also visited Zakopane. It turns out that there is a year-round mechanical nativity scene at the Holy Family Church. After inserting a coin into the money box, the mechanism starts and the recorded voice says "God bless you" in the voice of a child and - interestingly - at the beginning, once again in the voice of an adult man. Could it be someone famous?
I really like all the sounds resulting from the movement of the mechanical nativity scene. Squeaking belts carrying dolls, clacking axes of dolls pretending to chop wood, the hum of machinery. I always feel disappointed that decided to play Christmas carols shouted out by a bunch of children from a loudspeaker of questionable quality. But maybe that's a necessary part of the charm.

Look up how many children die each day from Benji's genocide.

Stand up. Speak out.

Best listened to with headphones.

This song was my final for my Audio Field Recording class. Each sound you hear was captured with an Zoom H5 Audio Recorder.

We asked our listeners to submit their favourite field recordings and tell us the stories behind how they were captured, and we got some really great submissions. These stories prove that sound design is not for the weak of heart, as people are mauled by dogs or accidentally lit on fire. Other stories are tales of pure luck, by being in the right place at the right time.  Listen to these  adventures in sound submitted by Brad Nayman, Mark Mangini, Katrine Amsler, Ken Cain, Florian Abou Yehia, Jak Melvin, Frank Colburn, David W. Mika and David Thomas.

I make field recordings focusing on nature in my home county Uppland, Sweden, and especially within biking distance from home.

Here are some interviews on national public radio about my recordings (sorry, only in Swedish :) )
