Of all my recordings at Whiritoa, this one reminds me the most of what it sounded like sitting on the deck of my friends beach house drinking a cool beer on a hot summers evening..

Marsden Cross Dusk 30-05-10

While on my way down to the cross I was confronted by an angry bull, deciding not to stick around I left my equipment to record as the sun went down..
Here's the result: Bull included.

“The Marsden Cross” commemorates the site of the first mission settlement and the first Christian service conducted in New Zealand by the Rev. Samuel Marsden. The service was held on Christmas Day, 1814, in an open space by the beach and attended by Maori and Europeans.

Rough planks and an upturned boat served for seats, and a temporary altar and reading desk were draped with black native cloth and European white duck. Some three weeks later, on the second Sunday in 1815, another service was held, this time in a building sufficiently advanced in construction at the Mission Station to be used as a church. This was probably the first church building in New Zealand.

Waharau Crickets & Turkeys 16-03-09

A few months ago I went to revisit Waharau Regional Park , this is from the lower link track where a family of turkeys strolled past while I was recording..
You can hear the gentle sound of the wind in the trees and the low level hum from the bees & insects, as well as the trickle of water from a slow flowing stream.

As usual, the following information is taken from the Auckland Regional Council site: http://tinyurl.com/waharau

Wildlife:
Sea and shore birds along the coast include spotted shags (parekareka), New Zealand dotterels (tuturiwhatu) and both species of oystercatchers (torea) while inland, kereru (wood pigeon), tomtits (miromiro), fantails (piwaiwaka), grey warblers (riroriro), tui and bellbird's (kormako) are found in the forest.

Native bush:
The regenerating kanuka-dominated forest on the lower slopes is home to a wide variety of plant species, from club mosses (pukohu), filmy ferns (manuka), ground orchids (tutukiwi) and liverworts, to coral lichens (pukoko) that give bushes a magical 'goblin-like' appearance.
Regenerating mixed kauri and hard beech (tawai) forest grows on the higher slopes beside plentiful tanekaha, rewarewa, hinau and towai. The nearby gullies are draped in tawa forest with emerging rimu, northern rata, kahikatea and totara.

Need to unwind from the xmass rush? Take a trip to Shakespear Regional Park and listen to the sounds of the bush...
location on google maps: http://tinyurl.com/66l84z

Shakespear Regional Park is located on the scenic Whangaparaoa Peninsula, 40 minutes from Auckland City where the park offers a sanctuary with magnificent panoramic views. The inner Hauraki Gulf can be admired in all its glory and Auckland City can be seen on the horizon.
Birds from nearby Tiritiri Matangi Island sanctuary have migrated across to the regenerating native forest on Shakespear where you can hear bellbirds and see the occasional kakariki.

a long, long list of tracks this week, including several web-vailable works, a handful of actual shiny plastic discs, and some recent variously located field recordings by yours truly. all of grant finlay's recordings are available on his new zealand nature sounds blog, and shinkei's collection of bio-electric recordings is available for free download as an mp3 release from trans>parent radiation, a sub-label of bremmstrahlung recordings, josh russell's label which brought us the original lowercase-sound compilations all those hundreds of years ago (ok, 4 or 5. 6? 7?). meanwhile socrates martinis' project based on recordings of airplanes in the distance will see a vinyl release shortly as a greek.english co-production between entr'acte and absurd. the autistici release (probably the 1st 12k release we've played on framework) features a collection of nice photos by taylor dupree, and a first collaboration from seth nehil and brendan murray appears on the always impressive sedimental records.

this edition of */framework:afield/* has been produced in vancouver, canada, by *meri von kleinsmid*.

meri says:
The theme of this edition of framework is the five Chinese
elements, or phases (also known as Wu Xing). They are: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. They are of ancient and modern philosophical importance.
Presented here are sound works that are literally or thematically connected to the elements. They are grouped in two cycles, which rotate in the order of the elements as listed above.
This programme was conceived and compiled by composer Meri von KleinSmid. http://www.merivonkleinsmid.net

Again, we are always looking for material for the show, whether raw field recordings, field recording based composition, or introduction submissions. we are also now accepting proposals for full editions of our guest curated series. send proposals or material, released or not, on any format, to the address below. if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Derek Holzer: Environmental Overlay
Clean

A recording put together by Derek Holzer of http://soundtransit.nl

The sounds used in this piece were selected from the archives of SoundTransit.nl, a collaborative, online community dedicated to field recording and phonography. Each shares some aspect of travel–whether by train, boat, airplane or motorbike–with the others, and they have been mixed into a continuous soundscape to be overlayed on top of the existing ambience of the Eindhoven Centraal Station at a matching level. What one realizes by listening carefully are the radical differences in the acoustic environments in the world around us, and that a new, “impossible” or “virtual” sonic situation is created by the combination of any of these sounds and the environment we inhabit now.

John Hegre - Stralsund, DE “Der Stralsunder pt 3″
