You know those winter mornings when everything feels impossibly quiet? This episode captures one of those rare moments - a Sunday morning recording from the Austrian mountainside after fresh snowfall. Snow acts like nature's most effective acoustic treatment, absorbing sound waves, leaving just the feel of a muted field in front of you. Extended li…

Today we're headed back to Nepal, to a little village called Bandipur. I stayed for a few nights at a cozy family run guesthouse which sat atop a hill. The view from there was magical. From my balcony I had a panoramic view of the lush green valley surrounding me (filled with trees, birds, and an entire bustling eco system). At night i would wake u…

When going through my archives the other day I noticed how many of my Field Recordings, both in the City and out in the Countryside have the sounds of animals in them. Birds take center stage and are especially prominent and lively in today's recordings. In this Episode I put together a mix of Recordings with Bird Sounds from Morocco (01:25) India …

While exploring Kathmandu, one of the guesthouses where I stayed was cornered by 3 Tibetan Monasteries. Luckily I am an early riser, because each day, as the sun rose, the monks would begin their daily meditation with drums and horns. And sunrise means between 5-6 o'clock in the morning. These are the sounds I recorded back then and am sharing with…

Despite that, I was surprised by how lively the town is during the day. Especially on the main square. These country people really seem to enjoy music, so h…

I am on the road for two years now. Travelling the world, not with a plan in my head, but with a recorder in my hand. Sound has the unique way of reaching our minds, transmuting mental barriers, teleporting us to a place we have never visited before. Every place, be it a restaurant, a local bus or even a quiet room has a unique voice by itself. Act…
