George VladBorneo rainforest - Lush dawn chorus - Gibbons and birds1-hour version on Youtube at https://youtu.be/vKhwV1COFpo
It's 5am deep in the Borneo rainforest. Cicadas, crickets and katydids are winding down their night calls but birds haven't started to sing just yet. Gibbons climb to the top of trees and start calling to let other troops know they're around. Birds and daytime insects slowly wake up and start calling too.
Recorded in Borneo's rainforest with Sony PCM D10, Lom MikroUsi micropohones and BubbleBee Windbubbles. I left the drop rig out in the jungle for 24 hours so I could capture a full day-night cycle. More sounds and stories...

George VladUnquestion - RefractionsIn June 2019 I was commissioned by Semi Silent to travel to the Danube Delta in Romania so I could do extensive field recording and then compose a piece using the soundscapes gathered on the trip. This is the resulting composition, using mainly recordings I got in the Delta.
Elements used include distant rural atomspheres, hydrophone recordings of underwater life, hundreds of mosquitoes in a small bathroom, nighttime wetland ambiences, horses living in abandoned houses, speech kindly offered by the participants, small "mistakes" like bumping the mic cable or tapping on surfaces next to the mics and even Accordion!
