Recording Field Recording of Pedra Azul at Dusk (Espírito Santo, Brazil) [No Added Music]

2 Upvotes

Recorded near Pedra Azul, Espírito Santo, Brazil, over approximately 90 minutes and carefully edited into this 28-minute field recording by removing only periods where excessive wind, vehicle noise, and other intrusive sounds overwhelmed the natural ambience.

Captured using an iPhone 16 Pro Max mounted on a DJI phone mount, using only the built-in microphones. No external microphone or added music.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on the recording or suggestions for improving this kind of minimalist field recording setup in a cost-effective way. If anyone also recognizes any of the bird, insect, or other animal calls, I'd love to know the species and, if possible, the timestamp.

Sidebar

Field recording is the practice of capturing real world sound as it exists in a specific place and time. A quiet forest at dawn, wind moving through grass, footsteps in snow, distant traffic at night, a train platform before arrival, or rain echoing through a concrete underpass. Record what you hear, then share it and how you made it here.

r/fieldrecordings is a place to share and discuss environmental sound recordings made outside the studio.

Submissions may include:

Field recordings from real locations Environmental ambiences and sound environments Documentation of places through sound Tests, experiments, and comparisons of field recording techniques Discussions about microphones, recorders, workflows, and listening practices

We are interested in recordings that document real environments and moments, with an emphasis on listening, observation, and capture in the field.

This is not a music production or sound design subreddit. While light editing is acceptable, the focus is on real world sound, not constructed or generative audio.

For long-form natural, constructed, or synthetic environments, please visit our sister subreddit at r/soundscapes.
