REEL 119 COMMENTARY
1/2. Standing close by the falls, at the top about 15-20 yards distance. SPL: 83 dBA, 89-90 dBC.
3. Walking toward the falls through paths in forest. An experiment in hearing the different colourations of the spectrum at various points along the path.
4. By a dirt road. Creaking tree in an otherwise silent ambience.
*5. Creaking tree is closer, much clearer. Great!
0'55" squirrel.
6. By the motel, this squirrel presumably didn't want recordists around. Very nice close-up sound, Some hi-fi nagging!
7. Very subtle ambience, headphone necessary. A slight rise and fall in wind is all that happens. Before the wind itself is audible, a nearby tree starts to creak. Then from the right the wind can be heard coming down the sides of a forested mountain bounding the lake.
1'30" distant birds,
4'00" dead quiet,
7'15" slight wind begins to build.
8'50" somebody approaches from behind.
