When George Vlad from Mindful Audio let us know he was going to Kenya for an expedition we thought it was a great opportunity to sponsor him with the Telinga Modular parabolic reflector he already purchased from Pink Noise in U.K. We were eager to find out how it worked with the mics he already had in his collection, and very happy to showcase some examples
he sent us already. These recordings are made with The Telinga Modular:s included stereo foam cartridge and a pair of his LOM mikroUši mics. To listen in full quality please download for your own use.

Telinga Modular stereo with 2x Lom MikroUsi mics (George Vlad)

testing of some custom software for an upcoming album project... working on some techniques, routings and such. looking forward to sharing the news when i've dug in a bit more.

February 08, 2022 (small winters)

The main goal of my trip to Lorraine in the east of France was to record Common Midwife Toads. The location was an old disused quarry just outside Lérouville and knowing the toads begin calling after dusk, I arrived early to have time to scope out the location. I was immediately greeted by a group of very vocal Pool Frogs and Edible Frogs, their calls echoing around the quarry. I captured this recording much later that night, just after midnight.

Pool Frogs And Edible Frogs - Lorraine, France

This soundscape was recorded at dusk in an old disused quarry just outside Lérouville. The light flute tones we hear are Common Midwife Toads that had just began calling. We also hear birds singing from the surrounding trees, as well as the occasional call of Parsley Frogs in the distance.

312. Sleepy Sunday Podcast (Elm Records)

This track was inspired by the Xian, the eight immortals of Taoism.

From Wikipedia:
Xian (Chinese: 仙/仚/僊; pinyin: xiān; Wade–Giles: hsien) refers to a person or similar entity having a long life or being immortal. The concept of xian has different implications dependent upon the specific context: philosophical, religious, mythological, or other symbolic or cultural occurrence. The Chinese word xian is translatable into English as:

(in Daoist philosophy and cosmology) spiritually immortal; transcendent human; celestial being
(in Daoist religion and pantheon) physically immortal; immortal person; an immortal; saint
(in Chinese alchemy) alchemist; one who seeks the elixir of life; one who practices longevity techniques
(or by extension) alchemical, dietary, or qigong methods for attaining immortality
(in Chinese mythology) wizard; magician; shaman; sorcerer
(in popular Chinese literature) genie; elf, fairy; nymph; 仙境 (xian jing is fairyland, faery)
(based on the folk etymology for the character 仙, a compound of the characters for person and mountain) sage living high in the mountains; mountain-man; hermit; recluse
(as a metaphorical modifier) immortal [talent]; accomplished person; celestial [beauty]; marvelous; extraordinary
(In new-age conception) seeker who takes refuge in immortality (longevity for the realization of divinity); transcended person [self] recoded by the "higher self"; divine soul; fully established being
