“Wild soundscapes provide countless detailed information. It may be that a picture is worth a thousand words, but it is also true that a natural soundscape is worth a thousand pictures.” (Bernie Krause, 2013)
An essential aspect of field recording is the focus on details. I pay attention to nuances in the soundscape, to unexpected sounds, to the interactions of sounds from different sources, and to the atmospheric mood created by the surroundings. This creates an immersive experience that allows the listener to immerse themselves in the soundscape and notice details that are often overheard in everyday life.
I have already done a lot of research on recording practices of our environment and the recording of various sound effects. As part of my diploma thesis at the Academy for film and television in ludwigsburg, I studied multi-channel sound recording processes and their sound aesthetics in cinema.
I use all these recordings as a sound designer in my projects or offer them for sale.
Recorded exclusively on various Pacific islands, the 3D Pacific Tropical Island, 3D Pacific Island Winds, 3D Pacific Island Waves, 3D Pacific Volcano Eruptions and 3D Climate Change Protests libraries are available on ASoundEffect.
Immersive Soundscapes - Multichannel Fieldrecording in Cinema
In my diploma thesis at the Academy for film and television in ludwigsburg, I dealed with various 2D and 3D recording systems in field recording. My goal was to use proven multi-channel sound recording methods in field recording and compare them in cinema for sound aesthetics and spatiality. Systems such as ORTF3D, OCT3D, Fukada Tree, INA5, IRT Kreuz were used. My thesis also deals with the handling of three-dimensional sound recordings in documentary film and their handling in post-production. The thoughts for this work are based on literature by Bernie Krause and Murray Schafer. The recordings took place at different locations like birdhouses in zoos, the black forest, different public places and a church. You can find the complete thesis here:
