Hi Folks,
Following is a cross-posting from the Nature Sounds Society list.
There are two upcoming California events, a half-day "Tech Talk" on
May 18th in San Francisco and the 18th annual Field Recording
Workshop in the Sierra mountains. This 3-day event runs June 21-23.
The Nature Sounds Society is offering Tech Talk 2002 on Saturday, May
18th. While this class is aimed at recordists with intermediate to
advanced experience, beginners are also welcome and will benefit from
the discussions. Attendees will receive information on basic audio
and signal flow, microphone selection, proper microphone usage, and
on how to avoid common mistakes. This session is excellent
preparation for the 18th Annual Field recording Workshop coming up
June 21-23 since it will give you a chance to ask the experts not
only about field recording but post-production techniques.
Tech Talk 2002 will be held at the San Francisco laboratory of noted
sound designer, engineer and inventor, Dan Dugan. The class will be
from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The cost is $15 for NSS members and $20
for non-members. For additional information, email
or call the Oakland Museum at (510) 238-7482.

The NATURE SOUNDS SOCIETY is now accepting applications for the
Eighteenth Annual Field Recording Workshop June 21 - June 23. The
workshop is an opportunity to learn about nature sounds recording and
the use of a variety of equipment during daily sessions in the field
with experienced recordists. We will have early morning field
recording session both Saturday and Sunday mornings in a number of
environmental settings. This is an excellent opportunity to talk shop
with the pros and seek their advice. In addition, there are short
educational segments and evening presentations. Our speakers this
year will be Frank Dorritie, the chair of the Department of Recording
Arts at Los Medanos College and who has just written a new book "The
Handbook of Field recording"; Jonathon Storm who has been a nature
recordist since 1984 and has published eleven albums under EARTHTUNES
series; and Guy Oliver, the Research of the Oceanic Society, who is
an expert on the effect of sound on marine animals as well as their
use of sound. We will also receive a technology update from Dan
Dugan, noted sound designer, engineer and inventor. Sunday morning we
will receive an update on the policies and efforts to preserve the
natural soundscape from Judy Rocchio, Regional Soundscape Program
Manager for the National Park Service and Karen Schambach, Founder
and President of the Center for Sierra Nevada Conservation and also
the California Coordinator for Public Employees for Environmental
Responsibilities (PEER).
The workshop will be held at the San Francisco State Field Campus
near Yuba Pass just northwest of Truckee, California. The workshop
will start Friday evening, June 21, and end noon Sunday, June 23. The
cost is $175 for members, $200 for non-members which includes a one
