Body Scan (13.5 mins) – Neil Shepherd

8 April 2018

A long, cold and snowy winter is finally coming to an end. Just after dawn during a nocturnal unattended sound recording in an old forest. Black grouse is on the leks, and the voices of overflying Whooper swans can be heard. Chaffinches are migrating, and the local Willow tits have begun singing. Black and Great Spotted woodpeckers are drumming, but Ravens steal she show acoustically. Feels good to be alive.

Umeå commune, Västerbotten County (63.56 N, 20.20 E)

SD MixPre-3 with stereo-matched Sennheiser MKH8020s attached to a tree trunk. Amplified 6 dB, 100 Hz low cut filter in post.

Into the old-growth forest – spring advancing, woodpeckers and Raven come alive

Compassion With Equanimity Phrases With Deborah Rana

Finding Calm In The Storm by Marta Patterson

Trying to emulate dual calm and turbulence of slowly flowing creek and surface ripples made by gently falling raindrops.   I took a recording of local creek flowing in early spring here- used slowed down version of this to create new sound parts in Metasynth with visual image synth manipulation and resynthesis with instrument sounds and microtonal sine waves.
