Ecuador Thunderstorm Sample

Ecuador Thunderstorm

Thunderstorm from a rocky hill in Sardagna, Italy, and rain in the brush; and church bells and sirens create a strange song with thunder.

Sardagna Thunder And Rain

Steady rainfall decreases and the night chorus is active; I recorded this with a double-mid-side system

Ecuadorian Amazon Rainforest Night

Swainsons Thrush and flying insects are busy in a thickly forested area in the mountains of Montana.  I recorded this a couple summers ago.

Swainsons Thrush And Flying Insects In Montana Summer Forest

Insects and frogs call throughout the night in the cloud forest near a small stream, and some wind gusts pass through the canopy, shaking rain drops down.  The rain was light and falling through the foliage.  I recorded this with a Double Mid-side system.

Costa Rica Cloud Forest Night Chorus Near Small Stream with Gentle Rain and Wind

Cactus Dodger

I enjoyed recording some winds recently, in this section there are some grasses, loose sand, and occasional birdsong, and various tones from the shape of the spot where I had the mics

Desert Wind with Grasses and Sand

Wind passing through a pine and various sparse shrubs and grasses on a steep slope then subsiding as thunder builds over the area.  There are some various critters and birds rustling around in the background. Recorded with my Sennheiser double mid-side system.

Grasshoppers Wind and Thunder

The wind was varying quite a bit and I recorded it sweeping sand around a dish shaped area, with grasses and some shrubs around.  Some insects are making various clicking sounds, and a flyby.  There is one sudden bird chip.

Desert Wind Gusting Through Grasses and Scattering Sand

Big thunderstorm approaching as the wind passes through a grove of aspen, and grasshoppers make clicking sounds nearby

Thunderstorm Approaches with Grasshoppers and Aspen Wind

This is a long recording from a ridge near the ocean, so the surf is in the background, there is bird and animal activity at dusk and dawn, and a big thunderstorm rolls in.  The Yellow-Throated Toucan is very active, and the Scarlet Macaws, Tinamou, and Mantled Howler Monkeys are also calling at dusk. I removed one section of a few minutes where the rainfall was so heavy it started leaking through and hitting the mics but otherwise left this recording intact.  I used my Sennheiser Double MidSide system with a Sound Devices MixPre recorder.

I recorded this with a pair of omnidirectional mics- this is just before dawn and the monkey is near the beach

Coastal Jungle Howler Monkey

Another selection from my time recording wind blowing across sand dunes with some dry grasses.

Desert Wind With Grasses and Sand 2

I put some mics into a flowering desert lavender shrub where there were lots of busy bees, and other flying insects, and the wind was pretty steadily gusting through the branches

Flowering Desert Lavender Shrub with Bees and Steady Gusting Wind

It was nice to hear the Common Poorwill calling at dusk, and cactus wrens, black-throated sparrows.  There is a lot of wind through the vegetation in this, and there were lots of grasses in the area.  I used the double mid-side system to record this.

Mojave Dusk Birdsong and Wind

This is a live recording of what it actually sounded like in a meadow with birdsong and wind, and chimes, all happening together, with some very light eq of low frequencies and microphone self-noise.
