望遠鏡之湖
By Naturespace · 5 reviews ·
湖面像一面液態的鏡子，不只反射光，也反射聲音。從光學上看，每一顆星都和天空中的對應者一樣明亮，但聲音就不是這回事。 在德魯伊魔法作用下，這片湖確實能聽見宇宙遠方的聲音。遙遠的超新星與伽瑪射線暴發生時，湖面會把它們的聲響映出來，再透過青蛙，把每次事件的強弱與位置帶出來。每一隻青蛙都對應一場遙遠的星系災變，每一聲，都有上千顆太陽爆炸的力量。 愛德溫・哈伯曾在這裡釣魚，還很意外地發現，遠處的青蛙比近處的移動得更快。 躺在蟋蟀此起彼落的聲音裡，夜晚一下子變得遼闊，青蛙的敲擊聲在四周標出星系的位置。就像任何天文觀測一樣，需要幾分鐘讓眼睛適應黑暗，細節才會浮現。因此，試聽往往帶不出望遠鏡之湖真正放鬆的一面。只要記得在天亮前離開，因為太陽其實很吵。
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!
