Technology & Channels

Recording approach

Professional field recorders (32-bit float).
Dedicated stereo and spatial microphone setups.
Long, uninterrupted recordings.
No music, no narration, no sound replacement.

Field recordings are captured on location under real environmental conditions. The microphone position defines the listening perspective and remains unchanged throughout each take.
All recordings preserve the natural dynamics of the environment, including silence, distance and gradual transitions.
What is heard is exactly what was present at the location during the time of recording.
