까마귀들
By Naturespace · 6 reviews ·
5월 하순, 오전 7시, 미시간 어퍼 반도. 숲 바닥에서 약 4.5미터 위, 거대한 참나무 위다. 그 아래로 작은 흑곰 한 마리가 먹이를 찾으며 지나간다. 잡아당기고 뜯어내는 기척에, 지나던 까마귀 한 마리가 즉각 반응한다. 순식간에 경보가 터지고, 한 무리의 까마귀가 한꺼번에 내려앉는다. 위협과 괴롭힘이 시작되고, 곧바로 곰의 점심이 대담하게 도난당한다. 곰에게는 그저 또 하루의 일이다. 강가를 따라 무심히 이동하며, 조금이라도 조용해지기를 바란다. 까마귀들에게 붙은 채 경계선까지 간다. 위장된 마이크 어레이가 나무들 사이에 매달려 있다. 완만하게 기울어진 숲, 아래로는 개울이 흐르고, 뒤쪽 왼편에는 작은 거품 이는 폭포가 있다. 이 높이는 발아래에서 벌어지는 일을 그대로 드러낸다. 바람이 불기 시작하면, 거대한 참나무가 둔탁하게 두드린다. 그 소리로 몸집이 드러난다. 이 트랙은 전혀 편안하지 않아요. 까마귀는 때로 당신 머리 위 60에서 90센티까지 내려와, 꽤 공격적이에요. 극적인 리얼리즘을 찾는 사람을 위한 트랙이에요. 입체감이 강하고, 숨김없이 바로 앞이다. 곰은 아래에서 먹이를 뒤지는 소리를 빼면 완전히 침묵해요.
What listeners say
I have over 30 tracks from Naturespace and they are all so amazing. Each does something different and brings me to a place I love. The Crows is simply one of my absolute favorites. I love crows and was so happy when they were introduced here a few years ago. Still one of my go-to tracks when I really want to get away. Especially because it’s not tranquil but filled with these incredible birds and the other sounds.
I live in Phoenix, so it goes with out saying that I never get the chance to hear any nature at all. When I do, it is always mared by the sound of traffic, and other ugly ssounds of the city. So, this app has been amazing!!! Anyway, about the track. I love the sound of crows! To me, it has always been a sound of authority. This is a beautiful track, and the other sounds which are a natural part of the track are breath taking. At one point, I had to take out my ear bud to make sure that there were no bugs in my ear. That is how real this track is. The whole experience is nothing short of epic!!!
I love this track. Crow is one of my Native totems. Contrary to what the description says and the other reviews I actually find this track relaxing. It's a wonderful change of pace from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
I used to work at a health clinic where a flock of crows had taken up residence in the kudzu covered trees behind the building. One of the crows, "Fred" had apparently been someone's pet and he used to peck on the door glass to be let inside. This really freaked out our patients because crows pecking on the window are a sign of impending death in this area. But the crows and the trees and the kudzu were very much alive. In fact, Fred picked the weather-stripping out of the side door and used it for a swing! He and his buddies used to watch out for us and would caw like this whenever a strange car or a new person came around. Since the building was a temporary building, (read triple-wide trailer) you could hear them inside, so they were acting as a burgler alarm, much the same as the crows in this track. The chirp of the bird as the bear forages even sort of sounds like Fred pecking on the glass....To me, therefore, this is kind of a relaxing track if I listen at a low volume. I can hear the fountain running in the lobby, the thinks and clunk of the patient room doors shutting in the other half of the building, and Fred and his buddies in the trees and on the walkway railings outside my office window. Probably not the most relaxing track for most people, i find it familiar, and it is definitely not as harsh as you might believe! Listen to the different crow voices, each one has his own tone, see if you can figure out which one is Fred!
Whilst, as the description suggests, this is far from relaxing, it is an incredibly detailed track and keeps your attention throughout its entirety. The subtle details of insects buzzing, branches swaying and cracking above and below, not to mention the movement of those noisy crows! Its realism is breathtaking. Don't fall asleep to this. Not that you could if you tried!
If you love the sound of crows you will be blown away by this track!
