Concert crépusculaire de Bombina bombina (Sonneur à ventre de feu) dans une roselière mosellane, le 11/05/2022 (espèce introduite, découverte en 2009).
En plus de cet amphibien dont le chant sature l'espace sonore dans les graves, les autres espèces composant ce paysage sont notamment : Rougegorge familier, Grive musicienne, Merle noir, Râle d'eau, Gallinule poule d'eau, Troglodyte mignon, Grenouille commune (P. kl. esculentus), Grillon champêtre et Courtilière commune.
Malgré l'ambiance naturellement fournie, la pollution sonore arrive à s'immiscer ponctuellement (motos, avions).

Dusk chorus of Bombina bombina (European fire-bellied toad) on 11/05/2022, in a Reed bed, in North-Eastern France (Moselle), where the species has been introduced (discovered in 2009). The other species composing this soundscape include: European Robin, Song Thrush, Common Blackbird, Water Rail, Eurasian Moorhen, Eurasian Wren, Green Frog (P. kl. esculentus), Eurasian Field Cricket and European Mole Cricket. Despite the naturally provided atmosphere, noise pollution is audible at times (motorcycles, planes).

Three different moments within a quiet windless night. This is not an exceptional recording but I like the atmosphere anyway.
A howl, a fox and a blackbird can be heard as well as a frog and probably some rodents close to the tripod.
The microphones and the recorder have been left the whole night.
The photo has been shot in the morning when I came back to pick the stuff up.

Recorded with a Nagra Ares BB+, Neumann KM184, ORTF near my house, in la Creuse, France.

Ojesjon lake, Sweden, freezing over. With a whooper swan flying over.

A recent Spring Dawn in the Queets Rainforest inside the Olympic National Park
The air is cool and the light is filtered through a canopy of Sitka Spruce and Douglas Fir, Pacific Chorus Frogs crowded in an ephemeral wet-spot seemingly don't know if it's day or night as they sing around the clock here. The river sounds like a soft pillow in the distance, a dull roar that is more comforting than disturbing, fading away behind a biophonic meditation.

As twilight dawns with First light, local birds join the the chorus with the frog. Varied Thrushes with their nasally mysterious alarm-like cry. Pacific Wrens who seemingly believe that everyone needs to hear what they have to say. Song Sparrows with some of the happiest song ever to delight. A Chestnut-backed Chickadee that inspects the microphones, pulling little tufts of the wind protection to pad a nest. Northern Flickers and Chipmunks compete to see who has the best chatter.

All the while, the frogs continue on in cycles of chorused and cycles of silence, punctuated only by the occasional encounter trill or inquiring contact croak.

Disquiet Junto project:    Minimal(ist)    Blend     disquiet0599
great prompt to continue one of my musical quests, beautiful ambient music made with real instruments in the spirit that Brian Eno meant it, and Erik Satie and Mark Hollis achieved it. (or at least not what it became later with excessive digital reverb or overtly digital synthetic tones or the beat/glitch driven music that it became, which is fine, that deserves to exist too:) but not where i usually want to go.  
5 guitar passages w/ minimal processing were recorded into ableton. further movement of the parts in editing, with the focus to keep it spare, hopeful, & open, not too much action or overlap. further processing was minimal, just a bit of convolution reverb and echo in abelton. as suggested granular synthesis was used by dropping one of the guitar parts into Robert Henke's excellent max4live device Granulator II. in addition one guitar part was processed intermittently with Tone Tree max4live device from Inspired by Nature/Dillon Bastan. these parts are also kept at minimal use throughout never overpowering the natural guitar parts, only complementing and extending them. 

another welcome assignment this week, initially i was tempted to go the glass/reich minimalist approach as I am playing a lot of piano in this style recently, but my ability to play the parts live without manipulating or editing them to fit is not there yet and i preferred to go the ambient guitar route as it so close to my heart for many years, and achievable for me without too much "correction" in the editing.
I'm fine with using any means necessary to achieve the goal but more of that kind of minimalism from me when i can pull it off in one take god help me...
