TURBULENCES OR GREIFSWALDER OIE - V
January 2012
The aim of my annual winter residence at the Greifswalder Oie in 2011 was to
make landscape sound recordings.
Marcus Held, photographer and colleague for several years, and I are planning
a publication about the scenically aspects of the isle. So we went there together
this year and did a lot of photo- and phonographs.
To gain an insight in what is collected acoustically, you can listen to this samples
from larger recordings.

NEW YEAR´S EVE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
January 2012
Having recorded the new years eve in the city center last year, (-> new years
eve inside a nesting box) I decided to record the turn of the year this time
in the countryside.
During the last months I did several birding and sound recording trips in a
area called Drömling - a nature reserve at the former intra-german border.
I expected a lot of roosting nordic geese and Whooper swans Cygnus cygnus
- and I should´t be disappointed.
At an artificial shallow water area called Flachwasserzone Mannhausen were
about 2000 geese and 40 swans. To my surprise 17 Tundra Swans Cygnus bewickii
were hidden among Whooper and Mute Swans Cygnus olor.
During the day I tried some different recording setups in the area.
