We=92ve begun working with the EU environmental team in conjunction with th=
e WWF to explore biophonies in the remaining old growth forest of Europe. J=
ack Hines and Tom Hull have been recording in the Carpathian Mtns over this=
past week, checking out the first of these sites. Just today, Jack sent an=
amazing sample of what was recorded there. In a note, he reported: =93We r=
ecorded two hours straight without a single over flight or other anthropoph=
onic sound.=94
In 2006, Peter Cusack from the UK, recorded at Chernobyl in the Ukraine (E.=
Europe) and captured some truly remarkable and lovely soundscapes from a r=
ecovering habitat once thought to be completely compromised (from the nucle=
ar meltdown that occurred in 1986). And there are many other fine examples =
coming from so many other great recordists.
So, contrary to the myth perpetuated by some that there=92s no place quiet =
enough or active enough to record in Europe, here=92s a list of those who h=
ave actually done that for the past 4 or 5 decades and who have turned out =
some really credible examples of lovely biophonies to be check out in vario=
us media and forms.
Peter Cusack
Walter Tilgner
Martyn Stewart
Jean Roch=E9
Nadia Pieretti
Jack Hines
Tom Hull
Chris Watson
Volker Widmann
David Monacchi
While it may be more difficult in the US, where some have suggested that th=
ere are only a dozen or so places, there are actually a dozen places to rec=
ord without overflights and road traffic within a 90 minute drive where thi=
s note is being written in Sonoma County, California.
Just for the official record=85
