#FieldRecording

[fndmoments]

Walking where light flickers through leaves. Just birds, breeze, and breath.

あきる野市の白瀧神社を参拝しました。 ここはさわやかな気に満ちた大変心地よい場所です。 訪れる誰もが心に安らぎを覚え癒されることでしょう。

I visited Shirataki Shrine in Akiruno City. It's a very comfortable place, filled with a refreshing atmosphere. Anyone who visits will feel at peace and be healed.

Here's a flashback of the first release of existent/nonexistent for GoH. New album is on it's way and I already can tell you it's stunning!

GoH-463: existent/nonexistent - A Quiet Presence (down the hallway)

A singular, complex industrial drone piece filled with variety of field-recorded sounds. A deeply disturbing and personal work from Canadian artist. Highest recommendation!

I was very pleased to meet postgraduate students from the School of Arts and Communication at the Normal University, as well as South African director Lelo today. We conducted interviews and field recordings both in the studio and at Liangma Park. Although the weather was extremely humid, we still managed to capture some interesting sounds.

🎙️ OLYMPUS DM-670 [elsewise field kit addition]

Just set up the Olympus DM-670 voice recorder as a more portable alternative to the Zoom H2n. It’ll be used for capturing movement-based recordings—runs, gym sessions, liminal walks—especially where bulk or sensitivity makes the Zoom impractical.

This is part of the recording setup for Out-of-Sync, an audiovisual piece exploring perceptual delay, desync, and the split between external stimuli and internal experience. (See also: signal loss, APD, misophonia, and the phantom drone in my left ear.)

But also—look at it. The typography. The glyphs. The symbols.

The manual alone is glitch collage gold—multilingual index typography, distorted schematics, almost asemic diagrams.

This isn’t just a tool. It’s future zine fodder. Elsewise tech. A black box of memory. ⌁

Beginning in the Field – A Practical Approach to Field Recording

While the soul of field recording lies in its poetry—the rustle of leaves, the call of birds at dawn—it also demands a certain practicality. Before the magic begins, there’s gear to choose, locations to scout, and conditions to consider. If my first post was about the why, this one is about the how.

1. Start with Your Ears

Before reaching for a microphone, train your ears. Sit quietly. Listen deeply. Notice how the environment changes as the day moves. Pay attention to subtle shifts—what sounds emerge at sunrise versus dusk? The best field recordings begin long before you press “record.”

2. Choose the Right Gear (But Don’t Overthink It)

You don’t need the most expensive recorder to begin. Many modern handheld recorders like the Zoom H5, Tascam DR-40X, or even a smartphone with a good external mic can yield remarkable results. Start with what you have. Learn its strengths and limitations. It’s not about having the best gear—it’s about knowing how to use it well.

3. Wind is Your Enemy (and Sometimes Your Friend)

Outdoor recording means dealing with wind. A dead cat (wind muff) is essential, even for built-in mics. Without it, your recordings will be dominated by unusable rumble. On the flip side, a light breeze through grass or leaves can be beautifully evocative. Learn to work with the wind, not against it.

4. Scout Your Locations

Sometimes you stumble upon a magical soundscape, but often, planning helps. Visit locations ahead of time. Listen during different hours. Use Google Maps’ satellite view to spot forests, rivers, or remote trails. Always respect private property and protected areas.

5. Embrace Patience

Nature doesn’t perform on cue. You might wait an hour for a birdcall—or end up recording nothing at all. That’s okay. Field recording is as much about the experience as the outcome. If you come home empty-handed, you still listened. You still were there.

6. Take Notes

Keep a small notebook or voice memo log. Jot down the time, weather, location, and any notable sounds. These notes will become invaluable as your library grows. They also help you relive and contextualize each recording later.

7. Record More Than You Think You Need

Record a few minutes before and after the sound you’re aiming for. Atmospheres need context, and sometimes the in-between moments are more compelling than the main event.

Field recording is a blend of mindfulness and method. The magic lives in the details, and the most important tool you carry is your attention. In future posts, I’ll go deeper into microphones, editing workflows, and building a personal sound library—but for now, step outside, stay still, and listen. That’s where it all begins.

“highland echoes” — Ambient music with nature sounds for deep relaxation.

An hour before sunrise, the birds are slowly waking up. It's going to be a warm day in the highlands.

Starting before sunrise, we captured this soundscape over a period of time. The result is “highland echoes”. Close your eyes and feel the tranquillity and vastness of the landscape.

The story of every joy.am song begins with an authentic sound recording and video footage - often in natural places of extraordinary beauty and silence. These ambient recordings are a reflection of the seasons and are sometimes made in the pouring rain or in the middle of the night. They are the inspiration and the beginning of every joy.am composition and an invitation to a sound journey through space and time.

joy.am new ambient music is available on Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, Tidal and other streaming platforms.

I made an environmental video of a popular power spot. When you listen to the sound of water, you feel as though the sludge from your daily life is being washed away and your mind becomes calm. Please use this video for relaxing, sleeping, meditating, studying, working, etc.
