July 31, 2007 Buzz, A Free Field Recording

July 31, 2007 Buzz, a free field recording from my backyard.

Recorded and edited by Mark Rushton
(13:53), 128kb-encoded MP3, about 13MB

Every night is different, but all nights are loud in the summer. The katydids keep going with their multi-layered, out-of-phase rhythms. The crickets buzz, although less often and with less intensity as the week before. There is only a slight hint of road noise from the north. A nearby neighbor has the central air running, which you can hear slightly on the right side. This was recorded using my old Sony minidisc recorder and a pair of binaural microphones. I only edited for time, provided the two fades, and turned it into a 128kb-encoded MP3. File under: field recording
