"This spot I found was quiet and peaceful, just perfect for recording. I dropped my rig and walked around for a bit, bumped into a giraffe and a warthog and took a few landscape photos. I also spotted a distant Eagle Owl, which can be heard softly in the recording. Every time I listen to this I'm transported back to that spot. Sit back, relax and try to imagine what it felt like to be there."



Field Recording by George Vlad in South Africa, 2016

Recorded at sunset in the intertidal zone at low tide during a new moon.



It was a rare sunny afternoon on this rugged stretch of coastline, with strong wind blowing from the north and huge waves crashing far out which created a continuous low roar. Heavy haze hung in the air, kicked up by the wind and crashing surf. The rocky, boulder strewn shore was fully exposed by the low tide, with barnacles, mussels, sea anemones, and a myriad of other kinds of sea life awaiting the incoming tide. Small flocks of shorebirds called Black Turnstones foraged for food on the exposed rocks, quickly moving out of the way as waves crashed against the rocks.

An early Summer recording on a Mountain Plateau, from the first light to early morning.



One can listen to the dawn chorus and later to roe deer barking around the microphone array.

A warm summer soundscape in an early morning revealing a variety of close insects and birds in the background. There is  a lot of movement on the ground and how the soundscape evolves throughout the one-hour recording gives away the landscape’s geography.



This place is an ancient neolithic era settlement: there are monoliths nearby, and the field in which the recording took place has an ancient Celtic stone maze that can only be seen from satellite photos.

Beautiful recording in a morning inside the mangrove forest at the low tide inside the Utria National Park. Colombian Pacific is one of the world’s few remaining areas with no road infrastructure and still vastly intact rainforest expanses.
