Wombat Creek, Australia during lockdown
May 04, 2023, 07:51 AM
The recording took place in Daylesford in Australia on June 3rd, 2021, during a state-wide Covid-19 lockdown, where most people were restricted to only leave their houses within a 5km radius. During that time, I started a field recording project documenting the sounds of nature around my neighbourhood. These recordings have been later released as an album by iubar project, titled 'Daylesford Naturalis: During Covid Lockdown #4' and available at: https://philosophyofsound.bandcamp.com/album/daylesford-naturalis-during-covid-lockdown-4
This recording is also taken from the ''Daylesford Naturalis' album, and among the tranquil settings you can hear some more dramatic sounds, such as loud Cockatoo bird voices and the rumbling sound of a large branch falling off from a very tall eucalyptus tree (at the 5.21 mark). I was directly under the tree when it happened, looking in a different direction and with my headphones on. While I could hear the rumbling sound of the falling branch, I couldn't immediately position where it was coming from and only when the branch was already on its way down, I noticed how large it was. Luckily it fell a couple of meters away from me.
