Immagina di trovarti in un luogo arido, circondato da distese di cespugli secchi. Il fruscio del vento ti avvolge, portando con sé il suono delicato delle foglie che si muovono. In lontananza, puoi percepire un basso rumore, come se la terra stessa stesse sussurrando i suoi segreti. Questi sono i suoni che un field recordist può catturare, portando con sé l'essenza di questi ambienti aridi e trasportandoti in luoghi lontani." Poi arriva la pioggia... Tutto cambia! Imagine that you are in an arid place, surrounded by dry bushes. The rustle of the wind envelops you, bringing with it the delicate sound of moving leaves. In the distance, you can hear a low noise, as if the earth itself is whispering its secrets, carrying the essence of these arid environments with it and transporting you to distant places." Then the rain comes and everything changes…
Continua la mia ricerca sui Suoni della natura. Impegnato in questo contesto nella realizzazione di una mappatura sonora all’ interno del Giardini Botanici Hanbury; luogo indubbiamente unico dove piante provenienti da diverse zone del mondo trovano il loro habitat naturale. Un osservazione sugli aspetti acustici del giardino ha determinato comunque la presenza concreta di suoni urbani circostanti l’area che non hanno impedito in ogni caso il compimento di un soundscape accurato. Il suono registrato all’ alba ed al tramonto dove il traffico e’ limitato mi ha permesso di creare un archivio con svariate specie di uccelli, successivamente catalogate grazie alla collaborazione di Rudy Valfiorito, guida ambientale escursionistica, esperto ornitologo e naturalista.
In this video i tested a 3d microphone made of fir wood and with silicone ears applied to it. I would like to thank lorenzi Guitar for the idea of building the creative head shaped structure. As location of my video, i chose a very crowded place in my town,Ventimiglia, a renowned Street Market that attracts a lot of tourists,in particular from the near France. On this particular occasion, I decided to use the Hollyland lark 150 as my microphone capsules;they have been managed wirelessly using the zoom f3 field recorder (of course all kind of microphone capsules can be applied to the head. It Is possible to perceive a three-dimensional sound throughout headphones listening. I Wish you all a good listen! I am pleased to attach the link of Lorenzo Guitar for those who would like to discover and enjoy his amazing lutherie works as well as his electric guitars which have been played by Rick..and many more
I have been contacted by a dear friend of mine who is a musician to realise a project together. He's had the idea to create and construct a multifunctional musical instrument in wood, which can be played from all sides; a percussion with a profound sound and at the same time shrill and resonant. It has taken him a lot of time and energy to find, first of all, a sound balance using different woods with thickness and shapes, managing to personalize the sound. Together we have decided to find a place which could enhance in a natural way, the sound of the instrument, so we have decided to go inside a church where already in the past I had registered other musical instruments; a really incredible place, immersed in nature and, above all, far away from unwanted noise such as traffic. For the recording I have decided to use a very minimal setup but at the same time efficient; two omnidirectional microphones and two contact microphones. The post-production sound has not undergone any modification and the reverberation the you can hear is natural. Finally, in my studio I have created a synchronized audio track of the percussion session.
A simple family memory today came with me in the mountains. Binoculars, to browse through the branches in search of some birds! What really interests me is capturing sound and this is a means .. I find myself this time in the hinterland on the Ligurian border, between Italy and France, a few kilometers from the city centre. A few planes, a few cars, a few chainsaws, but all in all I was quite hidden from the valley. I alternated stereophonic recordings with the dodotronic dish microphones with mono recordings with the sennheiser mkh416, to have different material to work with. Happy listening!
