This recording exhibits the silent landscape of the Mojave Desert at night. Very minimal sonic events happen during this recording, the most notable of which being an airplane flying overhead. Sporadically throughout the recording small birds begin chirping and at a couple points near the end of the recording, larger birds flapping their wings become an brief sonic characteristic to the recording.

Due to this recording's environment, there is a lot of reverberation from the birds chirping, vehicles passing by and the occasional plant life being brushed together. There are over 10 instances of cars passing by, most of which are large trucks - presumably semis passing through on the highway. Throughout the recording there are a plethora of birds calling and chirping. At one particular point in the recording, no cars or trucks pass for over three minutes and the sounds of the birds thrive inside the cave-like environment this recording was made in.

This recording contains sounds equally from nature and humans. There are four instances when a car will drive right next to microphone and zoom past from the right channel to the left. Essentially this entire 2 hour recording has ambience of vehicles driving along the freeways in the distance as well as consistent sounds of bird calls. There are a few instances where a squawking bird begins calling quite close to the microphone and the timbre of its voice is very clear. The rest of the bird calls are are a little off in the distance and only vary between birds once about three times.

This recording contains a long sample of running water falling from a small creek. A few times in the recording what seems to be a very, very gentle breeze causes the stream to flow differently for a brief moment, otherwise the stream of the creek is consistent throughout the recording. Another sonic characteristic to this recording are a few crickets chirping. The crickets have been noted accordingly.

This recording is very silent. There sounds that occur throughout the recording are far into the distance. These sounds include consisted chirping of crickets from about the 13 minute mark until the end of the recording; cars passing along the freeway system; bird calls and the sounds of airplanes passing overhead.

The large majority of sonic activity in this recording comes from wind. At only a couple of instances in the recording do other sounds occur, i.e bird calls, wildlife movement. Rather, the recording as a whole documents are large wind soundscape. There are also tiny clicks and pops from the microphone slightly moving around on the tripod throughout the recording. The sounds are very faint.

This recording contains a massive sample of wind fluctuating through the landscape and cacti. There are some very strong winds which cause the microphone to clip at times, and there also some very peaceful wind samples that blow around dried leaves, sticks and cacti spines creating an interesting sonic texture. There are also a few instances about halfway through the recording when a wonderful songbird belts out a few tunes.

This file contains a large sample of the wind whistling through Organ Pipe Cacti. There are a plethora of instances when the microphone clips from strong winds passing through, all of which have be tagged microphone clipping. There are also some brief instances of birds calling and chirping in the distance.

This recording contains many samples of wildlife activity. Such as birds chipping, birds fluttering their wings, and birds hopping around on the ground pecking at the floor. There are also many samples of wind and plant life moving in the wind; i.e. shrubbery brushing against one another, dried sticks and leaves being pushed around on the floor. At virtually any point in the recording these sounds are present after a few moments of listening. The more prevalent events, or sections, of these sonic events have been noted accordingly.

This recording contains more samples of bird calls and wildlife activity. There is a great session between a few birds calling back and forth between one another creating a large spacial environment due to their proximity. Other than this event, the only other instance is a vehicle drives through the scene at about the 8 minute mark.

This recording contains lots and lots of wind samples. There are many instances where the microphone clips from the wind blowing through the microphone. Yet, there is an abundance of instances with animal movement. Form the 21 minute mark until the very end of the recording, there is consistent movement within shrubbery and dried leaves around the scene. A lot of crunching sticks and leaves are clearly audible between 43 and 45 minute mark.
