Sound and Silence with Sekishi and Daizan

[RichardH]

Lets keep in mind that this project is about ALL the sounds of our lives. That includes both the beautiful, artful, and "meditative", but also the artless and uncomfortable, inane and incidental. It includes the dentist's drill and the tranquil lake, the argument next door and the wind in the cedars, the fart in the bathroom and laughter of kids in the playground. It is about waking to it all. There is no such thing as a "Zen" recording.... it is all "Zen".

Hi Sekishi,

the wild hive sounds busy, but calm to me.
Of course its different with my honey-bees, but in general, frequency goes up and sound is more 'coordinated', when mobilising.

There are some projects coming up the last months (free and commercial), about recording and processing hive sounds, for predicting bee-haviour.
Different frequencies from different bee-jobs, up to a very clear toot-toot-toooooot, when the queen tells to leave the hive ;-).
More low frequency sounds means more workers, that have nothing to do, which leads to swarming of the hive, etc.

Gassho,

So how did the wild hive sound - calm or aggressive? I spent a bunch of time just sitting on the ground near the hive before putting a microphone up to their front door, so hopefully they were not too agitated.

Also, I know of at least one other bee-keeping Treeleafer, which I think is sort of cool.

Gassho,
Sekishi #sat #lah

Nice! You live in a beautiful part of the world Shingen. My wife and I visited the Island two years ago and it made a lasting impression on us. I know we'll end up back there some time in the future.

I love the sound of footsteps on a trail. Especially if there is some texture, like gravel or something crunchy.

Been enjoying all these recordings so far. I have made quite a few but deleted them due to too much wind rush across my phones mic - anyone know of a fury phone sock. I know I should accept them as they are but they've been a bit too heavy interference wise.

Was at the beach yesterday and enjoyed the sounds of the waves breaking but again too much wind for a good recording. Anyway the weather has changed again so these were taken this morning. At the house when I let the chickens out (overflowing water butt, raindrops on garden table and passing traffic), then recording from the courtyard and another down by the river under trees with the our dog.......no panting today.
