The Demons That Protect Me

I hear the pack, puppies and three adult howling from the other side of a lake about 500 meters away. To far away for recording. One wolf left the pack and moved in my direction. I could hear him walk towards me thanks to the reflector.

The wolf, probably the male, came very close. Approximately 25 meters. Impossible to see him in darkness and the dense vegetation but could hear him very clear. He barked and howled. A barking wolf is a wolf who feels uncertain. I left the area after recording a few minutes. The recording is not edited at all, completely raw. It is a wild Swedish wolf! In the Swedish wilderness!

Recorded in Sweden with SoundDevices 702 and Telinga Stereo Parabolic.

With this recording i won the The Individual Class in the W.S.R.S Competition 2019. The overall winner is not announced yet.

Deforestation in Finland has accelerated tremendously in recent years. Most old forests have already been cutted, but also logging growing forests  for the pulp industry is still increasing. When the logging machine comes, the scene is like from a horror movie. Like the sounding too. 

A little piece of old forest that had remain near our home was nearly clear cutted brutally. It took four days to do that, and this recording is from the third day.  A Black Woodpecker cried hearth-breakable during the first day and a Raven pair flew over and over again during all the days of logging. 

This piece is recorded near my bird feeder. The Raven is heard best between 5-6 and from 11.15. The other birds are mostly tits of the woods. Between 9-10.30 a Willow Tit (most likely) is singing weakly it's fall song. In the picture the logging machine is resting for a moment. Enjoy with headphones, thanks!

The Black Paper (disquiet 0468)

Disquiet Junto Project 0469: [Missing in Caption]. The Assignment: Make music that pushes the constraints of descriptive television captions.

In one scene of this old war movie, the man is saying goodbye to go to another well-founded, short and successful war, and his wife is deeply worried.

The bells call to battle, the wife struggles to find parting words, and even the worn-out VHS tape is deeply moved.

[overly heartbreaking farewell music] ____ [disquiet0469]

This is a compilation from an over night recording in Kirpakka woods with 15 small cracks in chronological order and as last a bigger bang from one long recording earlier in february.

I had the microphones out in Kirpakka small preservation area over night (from sunset to midday) during the coldest days when temp went down to -20C.  There was practically no sign of life except some road noise and machines from a nearby farm.  Daytime there were a few Crows and two Ravens, one Great Spotted Woodpecker and in early night the distant call of a Tengman's Owl.  

One recording of 18 hours earlier didn't result in any sound of life except a very weak Crow at 11 am. and the big crack in the end of this recording.

There seems to be a great loss of tits and crossbills in Finnish forests today.

But the trees were keeping a good amount of cracks and pops, specially in the early night when the temperature change was as fastest.
