The Quiet Podcast

Summer Storm with Rain, Thunder and Birds

Audio Projects Group — Sun, 03 Mar 2024 08:00:00 +1100

This episode was recorded in Wyangala, NSW in December 2021. We're setup at a covered picnic table and the rain has just set in.

Hear the rain pouring down, and then as it eases, the birds come out while thunder rolls on in the distance.

This recording was made with a Binaural Enthusiast dummy head, and processed with just a little reduction in the high mid-range.

Night-time by a River During Spring Snow Melt

Audio Projects Group — Sun, 21 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +1100

This is the Gungarlin River in the NSW Snowy Mountains, recorded on a crisp early spring night. Hear the river rushing away with spring snow melt, the occasional bird and some mysterious splashes and thuds nearby. No one else is around for miles and miles (except for the brumbies)... So enjoy the peace and quiet.

This recording was made with a Sennheiser 3D Ambeo headset, with a little HPF and gain in post.

Budgies on a Spring Morning in Birdsville, QLD

Audio Projects Group — Sun, 17 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +1100

Kicking off a new season of The Quiet podcast, this short recording was made near Birdsville, QLD in September 2022. Listen to the budgerigars cheeping away as the wind blows past you (I think it's my best wind recording yet).

It's been two years since I last published an episode, to keep things simple and perhaps less distracting, there won't be any intros or outros to episodes anymore. On this ep you'll hear me walking away from the recorder, and back towards as the recording ends... hopefully it helps set the mood.

7) Caravan 1: In the Rain

Audio Projects Group — Sun, 05 Dec 2021 08:00:00 +1100

Special long episode! We’re experimenting with longer recordings, but to maintain high quality audio, the files need to be bigger than average. So please let us know if your player has issue downloading this episode? hello@thequietpod.com

Back on Ngarigo land, it’s a spring evening and it’s been raining for a few days. We’re in a caravan and the rain is pattering on the roof, whilst big droplets are also falling from the trees above. Relax and let your mind float as you stay warm inside.

6) The Bush 1: Kookaburras and Night Time Creatures

Audio Projects Group — Sat, 20 Nov 2021 08:00:00 +1100

It's a summers night in the bush on Ngarigo land .. maybe it sounds quiet at first, but once your ears adjust you'll hear Kookaburras and other birds having a chat, soft footsteps of unknown animals, as well as the summer hum of cicadas and crickets.

Wear headphones for what is a sensational 3D effect in this episode.

Sit by a creek on a summer afternoon and use this natural form of white noise to relax, or focus your thoughts. Wear headphones and you'll hear an occasional bird around you in a 360 space. BTW, there's no outro from Mirna on this episode, so you can stay in your happy place as the sound slowly fades away at the end.

Audio Projects Group — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +1100

We return to a cliff by the sea on a mid-autumn day. It's the afternoon, the sun is setting over the hill and everything is starting to slow down... Put headphones on and hear the waves in the distance, the birds all around you and the odd insect fluttering by.

3) Driving in the Rain 1: Raindrops and Dog Sleeping

Audio Projects Group — Sun, 10 Oct 2021 08:00:00 +1100

Sit in the passenger seat as we drive along a bush road into town on a rainy winter’s day. The dog is sleeping in the back (can you hear him?), the rain is oscillating softer then harder on the roof, and the road hums by underneath.

We find earbuds work best for the most immersive listening experience!
