Sounds of nature from the Woodstock Nature Reserve at the north part of Canberra. I recorded this sitting amongst some trees that shielded me from the worst of the cold wind. Luckily it did not rain while I was there and I could admire the beautiful valley before me.

Woodstock Nature Reserve - Part 1 - 5th of August 2017

I recorded this at the Woodstock Nature Reserve, on the side of a hill full of trees, with the Murrumbidgee river at the bottom. It was getting dark and I was a steep climb to get back to my car, so I promised myself to get closer to the river the next time I go there.

Construction noise of the Civic Quarter building site, next to Veterans Park in the Canberra CBD. Whatever was making that loud banging from deep within the site was all the more mysterious as it was hidden from view.

Recorded at the Orroral Lookout of Corin Forest in the ACT. The area was covered in snow, which was nice to see again after two decades.

Corin Forrest - Part 1 - 20th of August 2017

Another recording from Corin Forest, in the Australian Capital Territory. This one was made on top of a felled tree trunk next to the main trail. There was snow everywhere and the birds were barely chirping which made the small gusts of wind traveling through the forrest more obvious to hear.

It was getting late in Corin Forest so I decided to walk back to my car. On the way I noticed the crickets chirping which I just had to share with my listeners, even if I risked walking through the forrest trail in the dark.

I recorded this track at Scrivener Dam in Weston Creek (ACT) on Sunday, the 27th of August. It was late-afternoon and there were cockatoos landing on the grass behind me, as well as some equally large black-feathered birds that were perching on a nearby tree. Some large mammal-type of animal could also be heard breathing heavily but I could not see what it was.

Me, rowing at the gym alone. Rowing is my exercise of choice, every night since a year ago. When I row with my eyes closed for 1-3 hours, it is a meditative experience that gives me clarity of thought and creative inspiration.

I recorded this at the Pine Island Reserve in the ACT. It is a great location to enjoy the sights and sounds of the Murrumbidgee River, as well as encounter kangaroos.

Recorded at Pine Island Reserve, on a sunny afternoon.

Pine Island Reserve - 15th of October 2017 - Part 1

A quiet section of the Murrumbidgee River at the Pine Island Reserve. I love how the bird calls complement the sound of water.

In this podcast series I aim to capture soundscapes from around the Australian Capital Territory and any places that I visit. No words; just ambience. There is a whole world of sound to discover, if only we pay attention to it. Let this podcast be a tool to help you do that, or just put it on to be transported to another place for a few minutes.
