Sheringham and Felbrigg - Soils and Plants

Welcome Home Everybody!A few weeks ago I managed to get my hands on a new microphone developed by the field recordist and sound artist Jez Riley French. The ecoutic is an adapted version of Jez’s popular c-series contact microphone. Short or long metal probes attach to the original c-series microphone body. These probes allow the microphone to penetrate soils, substrates, plant stems and many other materials, enabling very fine sound within these materials to be detected without the low rumble often associated with this kind of recording. Excited to try the microphone, and confident that our Sidestrand School group would be equally enthused, Rob and I agreed that trips to the woods at Sheringham Park, and the gardens at Felbrigg Hall might offer good opportunities for fruitful sound exploration.LINKSSheringham ParkFelbrigg HallEcoutic MicrophoneMartin Noble-JamesHomeSounds Show Supporters Club
