Ashley Elsdon: Recordings

I've been taking field recordings for years, and decided that I want to make them available to anyone who was interested in listening. For the most part this podcast will be made up of recordings I've made that I've enjoyed of found interesting. Occasionally there will be a some music too. I hope you enjoy it.

Sounds from the Buzzardry in Sussex

I have edited together a handful of recordings I made whilst staying in a treehouse in Sussex called the Buzzardry. The collage begins near water and you can hear a family walking nearby. It continues with a selection of other water recordings followed by a longer section where I put my Zoom H2N on a table and just let it record for while. I especially like the part where a bee decides to investigate the recorder, and of course the ducks who make their presence known throughout.

A really big storm

Last night / this morning we had a huge storm. If you're in the south of england then you probably heard it too. The lightening was going every few seconds and the thunder was almost constant. It kept me awake so I thought I would record it. The image I used was one of the lightening flashes around 1am. It lit up the entire sky.
