Hi all,
this is going to be quite something ! a week in Iceland exploring some
stunning locations with Chris Watson & myself. We're keeping the number
of places quite low on this one, so we can make the best use of the time
& extended recording opportunities.

A unique opportunity to spend several days recording the sounds of
spring in Iceland with Chris Watson, a leading figure in the world of
wildlife sound recording, and field recordist and composer Jez riley
French. Our base will beLysuholl
<http://www.lysuholl.is/english/this_is_us.htm> in the west of Iceland
on the south coast of theSn=E6fellsnes
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sn%C3%A6fellsnes> peninsula. As well as
recording the wildlife we will also be visiting glaciers, caves,
waterfalls, volcano craters, lava beaches, geysirs (Icelandic spelling!)
etc.
We will have two large houses at our disposal for the duration, with a
chef and two minibuses to allow us the greatest flexibility for
recording trips. The range of spectuacular habitats will enable us to
experiment with surround sound techniques, ambisonic microphones &
software, hydrophones, contact mics, geophones, ultrasonic detectors,
parabolic systems and a range of stereo and mono recordings. We will
also have a surround sound genelec system at our base for reviewing
recordings and group discussions. It is expected that you will have some
recording experience and your own equipment to bring (although we will
have some extra gear with us that everyone is welcome to try).
