Right, makes sense.

I'm curious about your long/overnight recordings. Do you simply press REC after finishing the mic setup and erase all the empty or uninteresting parts afterwards, or do you use a timer (or go there yourself)?

Timeline cleanse: 3 good things

1. Any bird, sitting in any tree, singing.
2. Finnish sauna.
3. Salted butter on roughly cut slabs of walnut rye bread.

Just back from a sound recording trip visiting a number of national parks in northern NSW & southern Queensland. Plenty of sounds to get through. #fieldrecording #biodiversity #sound

Ännu en författare som jag pinsamt nog vet absolut ingenting om men allt vad som sägs på Wikipedia (inte minst av Palme!) tyder på att jag går och hämtar mig iaf någon av hans reseskildningar. Eller essäsamlingar. Eller poesi. Hans bibliografi är förbluffande månsidig.

A forest under a full, smiling moon. Two small children play on a seesaw with several fairies, who are light, ethereal beings. They are being watched by two more children, some rabbits and a frog. The children wear red caps with white spots, resembling mushrooms.

A forest under a full, smiling moon. Two small children play on a seesaw with several fairies, who are light, ethereal beings. They are being watched by two more children, some rabbits and a frog. The children wear red caps with white spots, resembling mushrooms.

'Sometimes they found forest fairies dancing and singing in the moonlight and joined in their games.'

I'm sorry, but my poetic skills are not really up to describing these photos. It's all snowy landscapes with trees, some degree of sun, and ski tracks. The point is the detail of how it looks, but ... I don't know how to describe it.

Yesterday was one of those days in the mountains where you can't help but be sad for the people who missed it.

Laid out against a dark grey background are ten biscuits that resemble aged, chipped mudlarking finds. An oval biscuit in a rich, dark green looks like the seal of a glass bottle, and features a raised characterful face at its centre. Next to it is an unevenly shaped black biscuit with grey chips and the raised shape of a hare’s face, ears, and upper legs. There are two large biscuits with jagged edges, each decorated in blue and white to look like broken pieces of delftware plates. One features the shape of a small bird surrounded by swirling lines, the other has a series of concentric circles and curved shapes. A small biscuit with a multifaceted texture replicates a knapped flint arrowhead. Next to it are a tiny hammer-shaped biscuit in pewter with delicate cross markings, and a very small gold biscuit button etched with lines, circles, and a rough star shape. The smallest biscuit is made to look like a yellow glass cufflink with decorative circles in blue, white, and red. Another small biscuit has the appearance of an aged metal button edged with decorative white and turquoise dots. Finally, there is a small angular biscuit in a terracotta colour with raised lines roughly in the shape of two intwined figures.

Some mudlarking finds survived for centuries in the muddy banks of the River Thames. Others are freshly baked tasty snacks. 🍪

This biscuit (cookie) set recreates ten of the 350+ mudlarked objects in London Museum's Secrets of the Thames exhibition.

The exhibition closes on 1 March. Don’t miss it!

Näin minäkin ajattelin, mutta pari kokemusta puhui toista. Saariston rengastien ajelulla yövyttiin Iniössä. Iltaa oli pakko siirtyä viettämään sisälle, koska hyttyset iskivät niin tehokkaasti. Vieläkin nopeampia lentäjiä oli Tvärminnessä. Teltan pystytys oli tuskallista. Hyttyslajeja riittää...
