Tribute to george orwell's "animal farm". Castiadas agriturismo orchestra near cagliari (italy). The animals are perturbed and worried by my presence then get used to it and stop screaming. Rural life goes on. Sony ecm 719 stereo mic.
Several geese honking. Recorded outside amid a gaggle of geese on a zoom h2 in 120* pattern. Might be other fowl noises (not loud) in background, can't remember what was around the geese. This is the loudest part of a field recording.
A couple hundred sheep bleat in their shed in an autumn afternoon. They are mostly female sheep feeding their lambs. This was recorded indoors while slowly walking through the flock in a traditional farm in burgos' countryside (northern spain). Recorded with sony pcm-d50.
Cats gnawing away on dry food, the stronger gets more. Recorded in the rural village of lunz, austria for this project: http://www. Collabor. At/projects/lunz.
Mournful cows mooing in the night. These are my neighbor's pasture-raised cattle and they have a pretty good life but about this time every year he has to wean the calves. He separates the calves from their mothers. They are on opposite sides of a fence. The fence is a single electric wire. The mothers and their calves are inches from each other but not in the same field. It makes me so sad to hear them in such distress but they seem to get over it in a few days.
A chicken yard in the transsylvanian village of țichindeal/romania. Some 300 chickens, along with 2 pigs and some geese are going about their business, a farmhand can be heard filling a water trough at the beginning. Slightly more wide-angle than the two other chicken yard recordings. Recorded with a rode nt-sf1 and matrixed to stereo.
