Location Scouting...Out & About

On the look out for locations to capture sound and trying to discover a concept for the project put forth.

Waiatarua. The Maori word for song of two waters.

Waiatarua Reserve seemed to me to be the perfect location to capture the sounds of nature. It is well known for its reputation as an ideal spot for dog walkers, Its swamp lands and ponds which are home to a range of birds. It is surrounded by towering trees which in the mornings and evenings are open to a choir of insects and birds alike.

My interest will be the discovery of unusual combinations of its sounds and desphypering its textures. By focusing on specific interests in the recordings I will hopefully open up many possibilities for interpretation. Helping me to concept and mold a way of presentation that will justify my choices and direction of the project.
