Black River Sweden

Spring 2018

The myNoise Sampling Sessions' Photo Album

I can't count how many times loon calls have been requested as an addition to this site. I wasn't aware of their haunting calls until I started to investigate why I was receiving so many requests. Then I realized why there was such a demand. It's an iconic sound, just as wolves' howls are. I gave myself a challenge for 2018, to find a spot where I could record these birds, hopefully not too far from home.

Quiet waters produce increadibly long reverberation times

The loon lake again where I spent most of my time

Recording forest sounds. Can you spot the recorder?

The forest is slowly recovering from Sweden's largest wildfire in 2014

This time of the year, the Black River looks like a lake because of the thaw

Thank you!

Sampling sessions abroad are only possible because of the generosity of the people making donations to this website. May those contributors be assured of my deepest gratitude! If you would like to foster the recording of new sounds, please support or keep supporting my work. Stéphane
