Taking a trip to Montreal to see my daughter became the perfect opportunity to reconnect with the great outdoors. I enjoyed spending several days in neighboring Regional parks, where I "drop-cached" a few recorders during my hikes.
The starting point of this sampling session was a visit to my daughter Celia, currently studying in Montreal.To my astonishment, May's landscape was still painted with snow.I had hoped to discover frozen lakes creating enchanting noises as they defrosted, but disappointingly, they remained silent.My rustic hideaway, next to the Forêt Ouareau Regional ParkThe modern nature lover: seeking solitude in the wilderness, but with an eye on the WiFi signal :DImmersing oneself in sound recording is akin to entering a state of meditation.Recording the noise of the Ouareau river.In the Ouareau River, lively sections give way......to calmer stretches. This particular section of the river gave me with enchanting watery notes.And then there are times when the river song is reduced to the faintest of murmurs.My drop recording setup acts as my ears in the wilderness, listening for over 24 hours. Can you spot the microphones? Here you can, easily! My trusted pair of AT3031s.A duo of NT1As, famed for their whisper-quiet performance. These large, fluffy caps dramatically reduce the intrusion of wind noises in the recordings.The quiet home of beavers, who unfortunately remained absent from sight and sound during my stay :(
