Recently I’ve been researching wind protection solutions for my Sennheiser MKH8020 microphones. I use the excellent Cinela ALBERT for ORTF, but wanted something more flexible that would allow me to record using spaced omnis and other mic arrays.

A couple of weeks ago I drove my family an hour south to Beacon, where we planned to visit a great toy store, see some friends who live there, and visit the Dia Art Foundation. I first visited the Dia on a trip to the US in 2012, and have thought about it often since then. It must have had an impact on me because I enrolled in my post-graduate art degree the following year.

Welcome to sound-map.org!

sound-map.org is an archive project logging my experiences capturing soundscapes around the world. The purpose of making these recordings is to document the places I come across—they might end up being used in music or other works down the track but for now I’m setting out to capture them without any further goal in mind.
