Hi Kevin,
The spaciality sounds good in that it provides an interesting perspective. =
It certainly provides enough space for all that going on in that aspen grov=
e. The sense of depth and breadth is nice, however that effect may be provi=
ded by the calling species as much as the array itself. The raven persisten=
tly provides a sense of distance, that is reinforced by the woodpecker drum=
ming. All the little birds give a sense of being immersed within it all. Th=
e passing fly clears an isle between our front row and the stage.
Hi Curt,
I have certainly too been inspired by the dynamic perspectives of soundscap=
es you have created with your parallel boundary arrays. Thanks for your com=
pliments towards my robin recording, and yes "Jecklin-type varient" is a fa=
ir way to put it. It was recorded with baffled, head spaced cardoid (NT1-A=
) microphones with about 60 degrees angle between capsule axes.
It is good we can share ideas, and become inspired by each others work.
