OTHER MUSIC / Re: 2011 TOP 10 LISTS
« on: December 11, 2011, 11:57:42 pm »
I'll just quickly add, I'll put together a list for the boss so it can be posted online but the two Grouper records are so far out in front of anything else this year in my opinion. Lots of other great stuff though.

FIELD RECORDING / Re: weirdest field recording happenings go here...

I'll have to dig out the recording but I was sure that a fish was sucking on my hydrophone once. I was recording in a muddy estuary so couldn't see more than 10cm into the water and the mic was at least 1m down. I got strange pulsing/scaping kind of sound. Even if it wasn't a fish, I kind of like the idea that it was.

A new post up on the Environmental Sounds blog.
"Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens" was a recording I made last week when I dropped into the Botanic Gardens in the Blue Mountains, approx 90min drive from Sydney. Theses recordings were made in a section of rainforest called "The Jungle" and even though there was some traffic noise invading the environment, I think the diversity of native birds more than makes up for it.

FIELD RECORDING / Tom Lawrence RIP
« on: October 30, 2011, 04:56:43 pm »
I thought I would post this here as it seemed fitting. Sadly, Tom Lawrence passed away last week. Some of you may know of his work, particularly his recent CD "Water Beetles of Pollardstown Fen". I had the pleasure of exchanging some recordings with Tom last year and he was an extremely friendly and generous person.
There was a short note on the Touch website here http://www.touchmusic.org.uk/news/tom_lawrence.html and to sample some of his recordings, please check out his entry in the Touch Radio series here http://www.touchradio.org.uk/tom_lawrence.html

A new post up on the Environmental Sounds blog.
"Singing Floodlights" A recording made using contact mics on some large floodlight towers at a local sports filed during an extremely windy day. There are some interesting sounds going on inside these structures and I'm looking forward to exploring them some more. Please drop by and have a listen.

A new post up at Environmental Sounds. Some early morning recordings from a woodland behind a coastal dune system on the far north coast of NSW.
http://environmentalsounds.blogspot.com/2011/08/woodland-behind-dunes.html
I'm going to try and get some recordings up a bit more frequently over the next month or so. As weather warms up here on the east coasl of Australia, animal life seems to be slowly waking up from their winter of inactivity.

A new post up on the Environmental Sounds blog. Recordings of estuary overflow across a beach on the north coast of NSW, Australia. Really interesting sounds and colours (in photos) of this tannin stained water flowing out across the white sand. Please drop by for a look and listen.

FIELD RECORDING / Re: The "what portable recording device should I buy?" thread
« on: April 10, 2011, 02:41:28 am »
Just to let you know, I went with the Sony PCM-50 in teh end. It arrived this week and even with limited opportunities, it has already impressed me. I'll look forward to sharing some noise in coming weeks. Thanks for the tips everyone.

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread to remind you all of updates to the Environmental Sounds blog Matt Rosner and I set up in conjunction with our Two Lakes release. http://www.12k.com/index.php/site/releases/two_lakes
Our collaboration looks set to continue so we'll be trying to update the blog regularly with new pieces and perhaps some news items on field recording/sound research bits and pieces.

FIELD RECORDING / Re: The "what portable recording device should I buy?" thread
« on: March 22, 2011, 04:51:39 pm »
thanks philippe, I am starting to wonder if I'm just as well off with the PCM-10 if I'm going to be using a lot of external microphones. General vibe seems to be that the sony units are a little better in sound quality than tascams right? Could you also please confirm that the PCM-10 DOES record in .WAV?

Thanks for that philippe, some great posts/threads on that board, very helpful.
Could I ask why you went for the PCM-10 over the PCM-50, was it simply an issue of price? More I read, more I'm tending towards the PCM-50 but my budget can stretch that far so price isn't *too* much of an issue.
