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.

This recording contains a plethora of bird calls which are consistent throughout most of the recording. The other sonic events of this recording include sounds of motor vehicles as they pass through the scene, a few instances of insects buzzing by the microphone, and winds occasionally blowing around twigs and dried shrubbery.

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 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 has consistent wind, bugs, and birds, but has a lot of unique bird calls throughout the entire piece.

This recording contains a steady amount of wind and consistent bird chirping throughout the entire recording. About every 30 seconds or so, a bug flies around the microphone.

This recording is predominately heavy winds and the sound of footsteps on gravel. There are some small spots where birds are chirping, people are talking, and a car is moving.

This track was recorded on March 15, 2014 at 1:27 PM with an ambisonic mic in the middle of an organ pipe cactus. This is a recording in ambisonic A format and MS Schoeps. This recording is mostly wind with faint bird chirping scattered throughout. There is human movement and talking at the beginning as the author sets the scene. There are both large gusts of wind and deep rumbles of wind that sound as if it is thunder, or wind brushing against a microphone.

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 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 a couple minutes of birds chirping at the beginning and at about the 2:20 mark the author documents the recording by stating the time, 7:59AM, and that the sun has come up. The remainder of the recording are all sounds of human movements through the landscape.

This recording contains a good sample of the different calls from a variety of birds and some small movements by small animals. The bird calls vary in proximity to the microphone and they are sporadic through the section marked - some calls occurring more frequently at times. The sounds of the movement by the animals are very brief, lasting only about a second. The sounds are more of swift passes through shrubbery creating a quick “brushing” sound.

Throughout this recording there are some pops and sort of crackling sounds that resemble rocks being rubbed together, which could indicate some movement during the recording. At 4:11 there is a car that starts and drives off. There are also some very distant birds talking from about the 12 minute mark right up until the last minute of the recording. It seems to be only one or two birds calling back and forth to one another. Yet, the calls are very quiet in the recording and certainly require headphones to hear. The author describes the setting at Jornada Experimental Range on March 14th at 6:14AM, about an hour before sunrise. He recorded Ambisonic SPS2000 on channels 1 - 4 and MS on channels 5 & 6.

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.

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.

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 file contains an abundance of wildlife activity. The beginning 2.5 minutes there is a truck passing through the scene and clears the sonic environment at about the 2:27 mark. The author of the recording notes that ambisonics were being recorded on channels 1-4 and MS on channels 5-6 (although the files in this database have been split). From about the 5:45 mark to about the 9:45 mark (about 4 minutes) there are continuous bird calls with very slight variation from the birds; most calls are very distant. There is a noticeable, but gradual, change in the calls between a few birds starting at the 2:25 mark until about the 5:45 mark. After this point, the bird that was calling closer to microphone quiets down and is not present in the space from then on. A notable point in the recording is the entrance of a crow-sounding bird that comes in around the 10:13 mark in the recording. The timbre of the crow's voice and its call is noticeably different from the rest of the birds in this scene.

This was recorded at 6:18 PM on 9 March as the sun was going down. The file contains a good amount of birds (and at some points insects) chirping and calling. Almost all of the bird sounds are very far off in the distance and have a small characteristics to their timbre. However, the bird sounds do move around in the stereo field at some points and create an interesting sense of space. There are also some nice gusts of wind throughout the recording as well as very, very faint sounds of cars that are virtually inaudible without proper headphones.

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.

This recording contains consist wind soundscape. There are instances of insects chirping as well as a large section of bird calls. Unfortunately there are no coyotes to be heard.
