Author: Sound By Nature April 23, 2021 Duration: 20:02
I was recently able to acquire a pair of small clippable microphones, with help from supporters and contributors, and I thought I'd test them out by setting them up in a binaural configuration. I clipped them to a bandana on either side of my head at ear level and went for a walk on a local section of the Pacific Crest Trail. I still have to work out some kinks, but I was pretty happy with what I got. There was a lot of air traffic on the day I recorded, and the least noise polluted part of the recording happened on a section of trail which had some uphill parts, so you can hear me breathing a bit. I hope it's not too creepy. Aside from that I was quite pleased with the microphones and I am looking forward to using them in the future. I hope you enjoy it! If you do, or don't, you can let me know by email at soundbynaturepodcast@gmail.com, on my website at https://soundbynaturepodcast.com/, or by commenting on a Facebook or Instagram post, which can be found by searching @soundbynaturepodcast. Thanks! Recently I have been listening to something on Youtube which I think some of you might enjoy. I don't really know how to describe it best, but if you enjoy my podcast I think you may enjoy it as well. I put some links below, and I hope you check it out!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-goGVmquASTXYK1tunP-mA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h40fop7eGbY

Sometimes the most profound moments come from simply listening to the world outside our windows. Sound By Nature is an invitation to pause and immerse yourself in the authentic acoustics of the natural world, curated into thoughtful audio experiences. Each episode is a dedicated soundscape, free from narration or music, capturing everything from the gentle patter of rain in an old-growth forest to the distant crash of ocean waves at dusk. It’s a resource for recentering, whether you need a backdrop for deep work, a tool for meditation, or a gentle path into restful sleep. This podcast draws from the fields of acoustic ecology and environmental science, presenting these recordings not just as ambient noise, but as a connection to the intricate and often overlooked sound environments that surround us. Tune in, put on your headphones, and let the raw, unedited symphony of the planet provide a much-needed respite from the clutter of daily life.
