Lac Télescope
By Naturespace · 5 reviews ·
Le miroir liquide du lac ne renvoie pas seulement la lumière, mais aussi le son. Visuellement, chaque étoile brille autant que sa jumelle dans le ciel, mais le son, c’est autre chose. Imprégné de magie druidique, le lac Télescope entend réellement le lointain grondement des supernovæ et des sursauts gamma, et les rejoue, amplitude et position, grâce aux grenouilles. Chaque grenouille correspond à un cataclysme galactique lointain, chacune avec la puissance de mille soleils en explosion. Edwin Hubble venait pêcher ici, et fut stupéfait de découvrir que les grenouilles les plus éloignées s’éloignaient plus vite que les plus proches. Niché dans un tapis de grillons scintillants, l’observateur est plongé dans une nuit vaste, presque spatiale, où des grenouilles percussives dessinent la galaxie. Comme pour toute observation astronomique, il faut quelques minutes pour s’habituer, laisser les yeux s’ajuster, avant que tous les détails n’apparaissent. Ainsi, l’aperçu ne parvient souvent pas à rendre le calme profond du lac Télescope. Veillez simplement à partir avant l’aube, car le soleil est assez bruyant.
What listeners say
This is a lovely ambiance night track. You can get a sense of the space of the lake in front of you because the wildlife calls come from either the left or the right, never in the middle. Plunks in the water can be heard as night birds lose their finds while over the water. An animal frolics in the brush nearby. The frog's song is hharmonious in the night air. The cricket and other pulsing insect songs are light and typical of a night scene with fair skies. There is even a flying insect that buzzes by! This is a very active lake. You can either stay awake to see what happens next or transfix your mind on a particular sound and fall asleep.
Great track but the sounds don't match the description. You have diurnal birds like the Pewee vocalizing. There's no way the recording was made deep in the night. (NATURESPACE COMMENT: This track was recorded right around midnight local time. Pewee calls can occur at all times of day and night according to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.)
One of my favourites. I have a roofgarden with an jungle interiour. Speakers around the roofgarden. My neighbours asked me what these sounds were. Frogs? On a roof? ( she asked) I said no. Its NatureSpace. She find it quit mysterious, because i never answered here question.
Because of the extremely creative description of this track I really wasn't sure what to expect or even if this would be a pure nature track or a kind of sci fi hybrid. I was happy to discover that it's an exquisite natural night track featuring frogs. Crickets, a light wind, a few birds and scurrying animals fill in the scene. Unlike some of the lake tracks, this one has no water sound beyond the occasional "plunk" as something falls or maybe jumps into the water, the main feature is the sound of the nocturnal wildlife, which is perfect.
There's just something soothing about this one that really makes feel like I'm at the lake at night. It's peaceful but active, though not in a distracting way. Very well done!
