Life of the woodpile

Hello againJust a quick note on a new file that I have posted. address:http://soundcloud.com/fishsongs/755-life-in-woodpileThe recording was captured by placing a hydrophone about 10 inches deep into an "ageing" mound of woood chips.The mound has a high population of millipedes and I assume that most of the sounds were created by them.High amplification. Low and high frequency limitations.JBSee More

"thanks JB, nice sounds. I'd love to hear the 'gator sounds closer, notwithstanding your sensible rule of thumb about distance! If you get another opportunity, a good directional mic would help."

"Hi JB, I listened to your sounds, comments would be that it is better not to be actually walking in long grass and recording at the same time (too much crackly interference). I liked the gators though, made my headphones vibrate!"

Hello again

Just a quick note on a new file that I have posted.

address:http://soundcloud.com/fishsongs/755-life-in-woodpile

The recording was captured by placing a hydrophone about 10 inches deep into an "ageing" mound of woood chips.

The mound has a high population of millipedes and I assume that most of the sounds were created by them.

Sounds from High Tide on The Ridge

Hi folks

I need your expertise as I am still a "professional amateur"

and sort of an analog guy in a digital world.

I have posted two sound files on SoundCloud which were recorded in the Everglades National Park (Florida)

They were recorded while walking about with a Sharp MD recorder and cheap microphone, in 2003 and 2005.

One recording is of a male alligator seeking a mate. I could not see the "gator" in the tall sawgrass but was able to get fairly close.…

I've only made one recording locally... There was a benefit concert at the Lurman Woodland Theatre by Vieux Farka Touré a couple weeks back & I recorded that. I really need to get out and record, but we've had to move recently (landlord needed to move back in to his home) so I've been busy with that. I am volunteering at the Lurman this Summer, so I plan on recording all of the shows that I can.

My wife Susan likes to hike out in Patapsco & I like biking around the river, but I haven't spent any time recording yet... Maybe soon!

So how's Florida? We're new to the East Coast, and are enjoying life in Catonsville...

Diego Stocco - Duet for Leaves & Turntable

Recently I bought a turntable to use it for an experiment, but that didn't turn out as I was expecting. Then, I noticed the equally spaced ridges on the plate and got an idea for something else. For about an hour I recorded short musical phrases by…
