エコーロケーション
By Naturespace · 10 reviews ·
午前3時、ホンジュラスのベイ諸島にあるコウモリの洞窟の入口。コウモリたちは、私たちの耳にはほとんど沈黙のまま、円を描くように飛び続けている。このトラックは、その秘められた世界を、音をゆっくりと引き延ばすことで聴き取れるかたちへとひらき、無数のクリック音やパルスを低音から高音へと広がる音域の中にそっと散りばめている。 速度を落とすことで、コウモリの発する音だけでなく、彼らが進む空間そのものが輪郭を帯びて現れる。発せられた音は森に反射し、その反響によって地形が“聴かれて”いる。ゆっくりと周囲を巡るその気配はきわめて鮮明で、湿り気を含んだ空気や島の森の佇まいまでも感じ取ることができる。ここで聴こえる音は、速度以外に一切の加工を施していない。響きとして現れる反射は、すべて実際のものだ。 静かな夜に寄り添う、落ち着いた気配をたたえたトラック。思索や創造に向いた穏やかな時間が静かに広がると同時に、ハロウィンの雰囲気にもよくなじむ。夕刻、キャンドルの灯りの中でスピーカーからそっと流せば、空間にやわらかな広がりが生まれる。ヘッドフォンでは、より深い没入が得られる。長い時間の中に細やかな変化が織り込まれ、その場の環境音—かすかなコオロギやヤモリの声、時折のやわらかな風—もそのままに収められている。
What listeners say
Mesmerizing and calming.
Very very calming. I have always been fascinated by bats. I love it. Good choice!
I find Echolocation haunting, otherworldly and deeply sleep-inducing. I played it for a friend who was absolutely mesmerized. I didn’t see it as a track on iTunes - is it possible to purchase this single track to give to my friend? (Naturespace comment: Sorry, but Echolocation is only available from within the app.)
This is one of my favorite tracks in the app. The slowed-down echolocation sounds make it super-relaxing while giving it a ton of space so you feel like you're actually in the forest.
This is a really relaxing and immersive track. The echoing does give a sense of the space and dimension. Although I'm kind of terrified of bats, the echoing feels more like whale calls with long drawn out reverberations and a light breeze. A great track for meditation and help with falling asleep. One of my new favorites!
I've listened 2 this track with headphones & have 2 say it is probably my favorite track along with Beneath the Dreaming Trees & Stillness. The slowed down bat cries sound like whale songs. Quite beautiful. This track is very atmospheric & I absolutely love the crickets, helps, & light breeze. This 1 also lulls me 2 sleep & I sleep deep when listening 2 this track. This 1 also seems 2 promote a lot of vivid dreams, much more so than the recent Lucid Dreaming track. Love love LOVE this track & Naturespace! 😊💤
Interesting sound. Not scary at all, on the contrary, the bat sounds are cute ! Well done.
This is a cool track. The slowed down bat noises add a surreal, almost supernatural quality. It's dreamy without being sleepy, haunting without being eerie. The background ambience is excellent by itself, textured and interesting without being overly intrusive. Nice, and something completely different.
Love this new track, it's great for listening to on headphones when you need to drown out noise but remain clear and focused, not drowsy. I thought it might be creepy before listening, pleasantly surprised to find it soothing instead. Really fabulous work Naturespace team!
This track is amazing! Keep up the good work!!
