망원경 호수
By Naturespace · 5 reviews ·
호수의 액체 거울은 빛만이 아니라 소리까지 되비춘다. 광학적으로는 모든 별이 하늘의 쌍둥이와 같은 밝기로 반짝이지만, 음향은 전혀 다른 이야기다. 드루이드의 마법이 스며든 이 호수는 우주에서 일어나는 초신성과 감마선 폭발의 먼 울림을 듣고, 각 사건의 크기와 위치를 개구리로 풀어낸다. 각 개구리는 하나의 먼 은하적 파국에 대응하며, 각각 천 개의 태양이 폭발하는 힘을 지닌다. 에드윈 허블은 이곳에서 낚시를 하곤 했고, 더 먼 개구리들이 더 가까운 개구리들보다 빠르게 멀어지고 있다는 사실에 놀랐다. 귀뚜라미가 반짝이는 풀숲에 몸을 누이면, 밤은 곧바로 넓어진다. 타악처럼 울리는 개구리들이 은하를 그려낸다. 어떤 천문 관측이든 그렇듯, 모든 세부가 드러나기 전에는 몇 분간 감각을 적응시키고 어둠에 눈을 맞춰야 한다. 그래서 미리보기만으로는 망원경 호수의 진짜 이완을 거의 전하지 못한다. 해 뜨기 전에는 꼭 떠나야 한다. 태양은 꽤 시끄럽다.
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!
