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.

This recording contains a large, windy soundscape. There are many instances where the microphone was bumped by surrounded objects being blown from a gust of wind. During these gusts of wind there are rich textures from dried shrubbery, creaking twigs and dry branches. This recording also contains sporadic bird calls and chirping, however they mostly remain in the distance. The most notable sonic element to this recording is the consistent sound of the microphone moving due to the winds.

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.

There are only a few events during this recording. For about 25 minutes there is sprinkler that moves around the scene and at some points the microphone clips from the sprinkler's water. The majority of the recording is wind blowing throughout the scene. At some points the breezes are stronger than at other points, yet wind is consistently present. The microphone either clips or pops a number of times during the recording and all of which have been marked.

This recording contains a large sample of winds blowing through Death Valley. During the first half hour of the recording the microphone clips a large number of times due to heavy winds blowing over the microphone. An interesting sound in this recording is what sounds to be a sprinkler spraying consistently throughout the recording and at one point clips the microphone due to its proximity. As the sprinkler sprayers further away, the sound starts to blend in to the sound of the winds blowing around some dried up shrubbery. It turns into a wonderful blend of white noise-esque frequencies engulfing the sonic environment.

This recording is mostly bugs (i.e. crickets and cicadas) and a faint sound of water. There are occasional bird chirps and squeaks as well as what sounds like little water droplets landing near the microphone.

This recording consists of occasional bird call, bugs buzzing near the microphone, human movement, and a near constant hum of the freeway. We hear crows and doves in the recording as well as one plane flying over head. There doesn't seem to be much breeze or any breeze at all and the human movements in the recording consists of a man's voice, crunching on the gravel, footsteps, and stones being tossed.

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.

This file contains a large, evolving soundscape of crickets chirping. About 3/4 through the recording there is a fairly dense sonic field of crickets chirping which create a nice immersive environment. There is a short instance where an airplane flies over the scene as well as some nice sounding breezes, but the majority of the recording is the crickets chirping together. The recording is marked at 8:36PM.

This recording contains a wind sound scape with plenty of wildlife activity. Sporadically throughout, new birds chime in to the recording and gives their unique calls for a few minutes at a time. Needless to say the wind overpowers most of the bird calls as most of the birds are usually off in to the distance. There a couple of instances in where wildlife movement becomes audible. This events are quite brief however, but they depict the dry dessert landscape.

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 file contains some very brief, almost inaudible sounds coming from a little critter on a rock moving around. Something very peculiar about this recording is that there are continuous, little clicks that are coming form what seems to be the microphone. They are all in the left channel on the stereo recording and they happen continuously (at least every thirty seconds) from about the 10:30 minute mark until the end of the recording.

This file only contains a couple, very subtle events. Very far off in the distance around the 12:24 mark you can hear a truck or some sort of automobile driving by. Then at around the 13:53 mark there is a very small chirping sound from an animal or a bird of some sort. The sound is hardly noticeable unless the gain is cranked an extra 6db. The same goes for the last event that happens around the 17:24 mark. There are some birds, perhaps just one bird, calling very, very far in the distance.

The most note worthy event in this file is the airplane that is flying overhead from the very start until about the 1:15 mark in the recording. During this event there are also some brief movements that can be heard. Another note worthy characteristic of the recording is how low the gain is. At the 1:58 the gain is brought back up a few decibels and the volume is about back to where it was in previous recordings.

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.

This recording contains quite a few instances of metal, close by the microphone, clanks together or squeaks, creating a very eerie environment as the wind continues to blow in the distance. A description of the setting is given at the beginning of the recording; it is 8:30PM on the 3rd day of the Listen(n) Project Field Trip on March 11th. The gates to Dripping Spring Road have been locked so the team could not go up the road to record. There are freeways on both sides of the microphone so one can hear rumble from cars everywhere. Towards the end of the recording there are a number of vehicles that become audible and at one instance a car drives up very close to the site of recording, makes a three point turn and turns back down the road.

This file contains a steady ambience of talking birds in the distance. There are a few instances where the microphone is bumped and/or pops as well as some instances of brief shuffling or rummaging. One notable instance of a bird call is at the 2:20 mark. A bird is relatively close to the microphone and has a distinct screeching call. The bird only cries out twice within a 10 second time span.

This recording contains a good deal of wildlife activity. Virtually the entire 20 minute recording documents birds singing and calling. New bird calls come and go throughout the recording, but there are two noticeably new calls from close by birds at the 6:58 and 8:55 mark. Stunningly, at the 16:17 mark a goose becomes clearly audible in the recording and gives quite a few calls before exiting the scene.
