Product Description
Garden and nature in Autumn. Sparse bird songs, busy gardeners, dogs barking with pleasant echoes, roosters calling, jets and propeller planes passing by, as well as moments of dead silence, hunters’ gunshots, and eerie rustling in the depths of the night; the awakening of nature and residents during the early morning hours, and much more.
‘Residential Forest IV’ is the fourth library in my series of long-term recordings in a German allotment environment. This area is a remote place surrounded by forest, featuring cottages, ponds, and abundant natural sounds. The library combines suburban, residential, and forest ambiences into a cohesive soundscape.
‘Residential Forest IV’ contains 34 unique ambiences recorded in Germany during Autumn, specifically on October 31, from 1 p.m. until 1 p.m. the following day. From these 23 hours of recordings, I selected and edited the best moments, compiling them into a 6 GB sonic journey through time — from afternoon to evening, through the night, and into the morning and midday hours of a residential forest area.
To capture the dead silence of the night, I used an extremely low-noise matched pair of Rode NT1-A microphones along with the Tascam HD-P1 recorder.
The total duration of the library is approximately 3.5 hours. Most of the ambiences range from 5 to 10 minutes in length, though some are longer, and a few are shorter.
‘Residential Forest IV’ was recorded in AB stereophony at 48 kHz, 24-bit resolution.
