The Bureau of Meteorology had forecast a very calm night and morning for Deep Creek. They are usually fairly accurate; but even while still a few kilometres away, on the way there, it was quite obvious that BOM had got it rather wrong. Never mind. The fact is that this southern coastal region is far more often wild and windy than it is calm and still. Strong winds and ocean roar: this is just how it was. It's remarkable that the birds can make themselves heard, but they do. And there were many of them: many species, and many individuals. This recording certainly won't be everyone's cup of tea. But for the natural record, it is as it is. And that is how I love it.

An unattended recording. Good quality headphones (preferably open-backed) are recommended.

Recorded on the land of the Ngarrindjeri peoples.

Charles Maynes and Frank Bry have been friends and admirers of each other's work for decades. They combined forces for the new sound effects library BLAST, that featuresincredible explosion recordings. They talk about the process of recording Tannerite, dynamite, debris and lots more. Plus they discuss their thoughts on 32bit recording, the importance of creativity in field recording and what is gained after years of practice with recorders and microphones.

Listening with ancient trees.
Starting our journey to this ancient forest at midnight,scrabbling o ver large granite stones and undulating paths.

A night walk in a temperate rain forest in Dartmoor Devon UK.
Close your eyes and take a sonic journey of deep earthly time  with this ancient tree that's been a silent witness to layers of history.

The sounds you here are after a warm day are  tiny popping  that is the sound of water passing through the cells of the xylem tubes and cavitating as it mixes with air on its way upwards.

I have wanted to capture for years what goes on behind the bark of a tree,I spent hours with this ancient trees at night to escape as much human noise as possible.Using highly sensitive contact microphones and hydrophones,handmade pre-amps and probes  to make audible the inner workings of trees. I first heard the moss layers of the bark as it  hydrated and dehydrated  then the rumble of the tree moving and the popping of the water,and the odd plane going past.

Internal Sounds of a Tree

Amidst the quiet calls of Chestnut-crowned Babblers, in this unedited excerpt from an overnight to morning recording, the singing of the Grey Shrike-thrush falls into two sections: in the first, the Shrike-thrush repeats a single familiar call, while in the second, it improvises more freely and lyrically. Some (not all) of the other birds heard include:  Australian Raven, Crested Bellbird, Emu, Galah, Grey Butcherbird, Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater, Striated Pardalote, Weebill....

Recorded with a pair of large-diaphragm condenser omnidirectional microphones in AB array with 62 cm spacing, with the microphones raised high on a lightweight lighting stand.

Recorded respectfully and mindfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.

This recording captures the electric atmosphere on the streets of Paris during the Men's Cycling Road Race event. I headed to rue de Belleville, knowing that the steep climb would be a fascinating position to watch from. This section was part of a final loop that the athletes had to do twice, before finishing the race on the Pont d’Iéna, a bridge connecting the Jardins du Trocadéro and the Eiffel Tower.

Borough Market is a London's oldest food market that operates every Friday and Saturday. It is situated below the train line at London Bridge. I feel this recording really captures the atmosphere of the market, with vendors shouting their "2 for £1.50" offers in a classic London accent and trains screeching overhead.
