I n this episode of The Sound Hunt , I document the raw process of hunting for acoustic sweet spots and the technical setup of omnidirectional microphones mounted directly onto tree trunks. By utilizing tree trunks as natural boundaries for a spaced omni array, the forest itself becomes an integral part of the recording system. This method relies on the physical reality of the environment using natural barriers to create genuine spatial cues, timing differences, and organic level shifts. The...

In the rapidly evolving landscape of 2026, artificial intelligence is reshaping creative industries, particularly music. AI excels at generating intricate electronic tracks, orchestral scores, and even pop songs with great precision. This isn't surprising to me ,music, at its core, is pattern based. It relies on formulas, scales, rhythms, and structures elements an algorithm can learn, replicate, and even master to perfection. When it comes to the raw, unpredictable world of soundscapes, Ai...

Silent journey through forests covered in snow gentle snow falls as I document the field recording process with my new hand built TSH-1 microphones designed to record crystal clear soundscapes. I am walking forest trails, scouting ideal spots, deploying gear through hushed flakes and gusts, capturing winter's delicate sound layers in real time. No narration, no music. The purpose of these nature expeditions is to record soundscapes and capture various sounds for my fothcoming music releases..
