Re: Recording nature's acoustics

["Lou Judson" inaudio]

Think of the sounds of a valley, or a plains, and which direction a
creature will run from danger - like the startled deer bounding UP a
bank rather than out across a field where a predator would have the
advantage. I'm sure such things are greatly influenced by the acoustic
environement, and the selectivity is instinctive and/or intuitive as
you wish to term it.

Fascinating discussion...
