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 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 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 recording contains only the sounds of gravel and sand crunching underneath slow footsteps. The crunching has virtually no reverberance which makes the texture of the sounds very dry and rich. The source of the sound is also very close to the microphone.

The author describes the recording at about the 1 minute mark stating that the GPS is marked Mojave 16, 05, 2014. It is Friday, May 16th at 6:36PM. According the the description there are lots of little bugs flying all over the place. Someone describes that it is overcast and the sun is going to set in about an hour. The recording was made in ambisonic A format on channels 1 - 4 and MS microphones recording on channels 5 and 6. The gain on the sound field microphone is set at 53db, the gain on the MS pair is also set at 53db and center. These recordings are hoping to document the sounds of coyotes.

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.

This recording does not contain any major events. From the beginning to the end of the recording there are some bird calls, birds chirping and a couple squawkers (notably right at the beginning of the recording). There is also one instance that sounds like a single footstep into sand.
