Natural History, Vol. 1. 2022
Wren Kitz’s Natural History, Vol. 1 is a compilation of outdoor and wildlife recordings made in New England, 2019-2022. All sound was recorded with a 1960s Nagra III on 1/4 inch tape and a 1970s Nakamichi 550 on cassette tape. Everything you hear is as it sounded while it was recorded. There is no overdubbing.
Be transported to the shore of Stone Pond while the Loon wails, huddled in a blind by a swamp at the edge of a floodplain forest, and to the nightscape of Gosport Harbor, Isles of Shoals.
