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 file contains frequent reoccurring events that mostly contain bird calls or notably strong winds. There are consistent winds present throughout the recording, as well as insects flying around the microphones. 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 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.

There are limited sonic events in this recording. The gate squeaks together at the 2:27 mark. After this, rest of the recording’s sounds consist of footsteps, gravel crunching on the ground and conversation.

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 is a very noisy recording. There are many odd sounds such as clacking, birds coo-ing, whistles, and a pesky bug that flies around consistently throughout the entire recording. At the end of the recording, there is a description of the scene and that the time is 12:51 PM.
