Hardware Tools for Ecoacoustic Field Recording and Research[edit]
Background and Prior Art
A good book/reference round up that covers essential field recording experiences, history and contexts can be found on the Cities and Memory website
A recent field recording gear buyers guide can be found here
Ableton's review of the Art of Field Recording gives a romantic background to contemporary field recording
Ecoacoustic Field and Recording Logistics[edit]
Project ECATis currently developing logistic and field recording methods for the following. Incorporated into these logistics and methods are considerations for robust field recording hardware system design and handling recommendations.
- Development and testing of a portable, robust system to record impulse responses in diverse and remote ecological habitats.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for alpine tundra, subalpine and glacial lake ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for alpine tundra and subalpine forest ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for neotropical rainforest ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for temperate rainforest ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for neotropical cloud forest ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of field logistics and methods for urban interface ecoacoustic sampling.
- Development and testing of a framework and methods for sonification of genomic and biochemical data.
- Development of a cost efficient, open-source, robust ambisonic recording system.
