Listening with good quality headphones is recommended.

A brief excerpt - during dawn - from an overnight to dawn recording made with an unattended rig placed in the Tapanappa Creek valley.

2021.10.31 Tapanappa Creek Valley. Deep Creek National Park. Dawn. Spring. (Excerpt)

Please listen with good headphones, as this is a binaural recording.

At first light, while the overnight rig was still recording down in the Tapanappa Creek valley, I gradually descended into the valley along the track from its western ridge with a lightweight binaural rig (recording into a D100), stopping to sit and enjoy the dawn, while also recording, at several locations along the way. This is a brief excerpt from one of those recordings, featuring a Grey Shrike-thrush in the foreground, with the dawn chorus softly filtering up from the valley below, and the Southern Ocean greeting the red cliffs and rocky shores to the right.

2021.10.31 Above Tapanappa Creek Valley. Deep Creek National Park. Dawn. Spring. (Excerpt)

This recording commences not more than about half an hour after several days of heavy rain abated... During most of this recording, it is no longer raining, but rain water accumulated on eucalypt trees and grass trees continues to drip from boughs, branches and leaves for many hours... Wind conditions were mostly calm, but occasional breezes passed through the space. The recording location is three and a half kilometres from the southern coastline of the Fleurieu Peninsula, at an elevation of 280 metres: a coastline of cliffs and rocks. In the stillness of the night, the ocean's surging, and even occasional waves thumping upon rocks or against cliffs, can often be clearly heard.

This excerpt from a longer recording runs from 00:16:30 to 03:40:15. (The longer recording continues through First Light and Sunrise into Morning.) It was recorded with a pair of Sennheiser MKH 8020s in AB array with 62 cm spacing into a Sound Devices MixPre-6 II. This is the original recording, unedited and unprocessed, recorded at a preamp gain setting of 65 dB.

The environment within which, and the land upon which, this recording was recorded, has been, is now, and will always be, under the spiritual and physical custodianship of the indigenous Ngarrindjeri and Kaurna peoples, who understood so much more deeply and fully than our culture does today, that the land, the water, and the sky are not 'our property'; rather, we belong to them, we depend upon them, as a foetus in the womb depends upon its mother. The birth that humanity strives for is  not a physical, merely 'material', birth. But very few understand what this means. Even if we travel to other stars, in search of another 'virgin' planet to strip bare, rape, and exploit for meaningless and useless 'profit' and 'power' that serves no better purpose than a means to further increase equally meaningless and useless 'profit' and 'power', we will necessarily be enveloped in space craft, dressed in space suits, housed under airtight domes, that carry with them, within them, the original air and nutriments of our mother planet - as a reminder of our hubris, our ignorance, our arrogance, our stupidity, our greed, and ... our species and civilisational immaturity.

2022.08.14 Night Ambience. Coastal Eucalypt and Grass-Tree Forest. Late Winter.

I revisited this location, ten nights later, for a different vantage-point, nearer to the Eastern Banjo Frogs (cf. https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/20220901-night-pastures-late-winterearly-spring). Soon after recording began, an Australian Magpie in a nearby gum tree uttered a quiet melodic warble, and then continued with a long series of telegraphic, punctuated vocalisations. Finally, closing with another melodic warble, it lapsed into silence again.

Recorded around 01:00.

Australian Magpie (Gymnorhina tibicen, ssp either telonocua or tyrannica)
Eastern Banjo Frog (Limnodynastes dumerilii)
Common Eastern Froglet (Crinia signifera)
Spotted Marsh Frog (Limnodynastes tasmaniensis)

No processing.
