Bugs

Sound recording of an orchestra of crickets chirping in tall grass field under power-lines, along the Proctor Creek Greenway trail on a hot summer day. In addition to the sound of crickets, the buzzing of cicadas as well as chirping of birds could also be faintly heard in the distance. The predominant sound of nature invokes a sense of calm for visitors, thus offering a welcoming escape from the busy hustle and bustle of the city. Recorded with Zoom H6 recorder and Rode NTG2 shotgun condenser microphone

While walking on the Proctor Creek Greenway, right between the opening of the creek and the open field, I heard the dominating sound of the cicada in the lush greenery. In the background, one can hear the rushing water of the creek and some friendly conversation adding to the welcoming soundscape of this portion of the belt line. The sound was captured by a Zoom H6 recorder and a Rode NTG2 Shotgun Condenser.

This is a recording of crickets chirping along with sounds of resting lake water near the Furman University Bell Tower at night. The lake water sounds similar to wind and can be heard throughout the clip. Faint voices and laughter are heard as students were taking night walks around the notorious Furman University lake. Recorded with a Zoom.

This sound is a representation of what echoes one might hear at Duke’s baseball stadium. The noise that sounds first is bugs. The recording was taken at home plate with no surroundings on an iPhone 6.
