field notes:

bhanuswari nightlife one - this recording was taken during the jet lag adjustment, sometime around three a.m. local time. recorded at the bhanuswari resort, ubud. the microphone is pointed at a cluster of large plants, and you can distinctly hear the kitchen at the resort, as well as an aircon unit.

high frequency insects - this was recorded in a forest at mid-day. the ever present sound of motorbikes appears, though i tried my best to edit it out. recorded in ubud. the microphone is pointed down towards a stream that's teeming with insect life.

bhanuswari roadway - recorded alongside a road near bhanuswari resort, ubud. the microphone is pointed at a variety of targets, mostly surveying a large rice field. a nearby temple construction site is also audible. 

the gecko speaks - recorded in tirta gangga during a massive rainstorm. the gecko appeared out of nowhere, and occupies much of the left channel, while the microphone remains pointed at the rice fields.

bhanuswari nightlife two (rainstorm) - this was recorded during a small rainshower sometime around two am local time. the microphone is pointed at a swimming pool from a different direction than 'bhanuswari nightlife one'. the sound of rain dripping off the hotel roof is very audible, and the animal life is much more active.

ubud windy road - recorded mid-day on a narrow backroad near the sacred monkey forest in ubud. the microphone points at a variety of targets, including a stand of trees, a small stream, a rice field, and several residential homes. unfortunately, no monkeys were recorded.
