《迁徙之声》（Migration Sounds）是由作曲家、音乐家兼野外录音师苏西·伊巴拉（Susie Ibarra）和杰克·兰道（Jake Landau）共同创作的一款雄心勃勃的采样包。过去三年，伊巴拉和兰道一直在野外进行鸟类迁徙路线的录音和记录工作，这些路线从撒哈拉以南非洲出发，一路向北，途经摩洛哥、西班牙、法国，最终抵达德国，最北可达波罗的海沿岸。伊巴拉和兰道的大部分声音研究都聚焦于气候变化、自然世界，并从不同大陆的各种栖息地和鸟类中汲取灵感。在对这些领域进行音乐和声音研究的同时，他们将这些研究成果运用到自己的乐器演奏和作品创作中。《迁徙之声》正是他们这种实践的体现。由于气候变化，这些鸟类的迁徙之路变得越来越艰难。气温升高、降雨量减少，甚至撒哈拉沙漠的持续扩张，都在影响着它们的迁徙模式。诸如苍头燕雀、柳莺、黄胸鹀、夜莺、火烈鸟、大山雀等众多鸟类都不得不做出调整。通过记录气候和自然世界，杰克和苏西实际上是在记录当下瞬间的真实写照，而这一刻转瞬即逝。这个音效包中令人惊叹的声音是在候鸟迁徙季节于西班牙安达卢西亚的多尼亚纳国家公园和德国吕根岛的亚斯蒙德国家公园这两个联合国教科文组织世界遗产地实地录制的，主要使用 DPA KIT-4060-OC-SMK 录音机。这些实地录音被带回他们的家庭工作室，许多被保留下来，作为候鸟鸣叫的原始环境音效。但这对搭档也对这些声音进行了处理，将其转化为各种乐器和歌曲的开头，包括用鸟鸣声制作的合成器和鼓点、额外的原声鼓循环以及触发鸟鸣声的感官打击乐。跟随这些来自非洲的声音，开启一段翱翔天际的旅程。从西班牙到波罗的海，在你的下一部作品中加入一些实验性的运动和迁徙元素。
Migration is an ambitious sample pack created by composers, musicians, and field recordists Susie Ibarra and Jake Landau. Ibarra and Landau have spent the last 3 years field recording and documenting bird migration paths that go from Sub-Saharan Africa, North through Morocco, Spain, France, up into Germany and as far north as the Baltic Sea.
Much of Ibarra and Landau’s field work in sound is focused on climate change, the natural world, and taking inspiration from diverse habitats, and birds on different continents. While researching these areas musically and sonically, they apply them to their instruments and compositions. Migration Sounds is one avenue of this practice.
Because of climate change, these migrations are becoming harder and harder for the bird species. Warming temperatures, less and less rainfall, and even the continuing expansion of the Sahara Desert are all affecting these migration patterns. Birds species such as the chaffinch, chiff chaff, corn bunting, nightingale, flamingo, great tit and many more are having to adapt. By recording the climate and the natural world, Jake and Susie are really recording a snapshot of what it is in this moment, and will not be again.
These incredible sounds within this pack were recorded on field during migration seasons in two UNESCO sites, Doñana National Park in Andalucía, Spain, and Jasmund National Park on Rügen Island, Germany, primarily using a DPA KIT-4060-OC-SMK. The field recordings were brought back to their home studio and many were left as untouched ambiances of migratory bird songs, but the duo also flipped the sounds into a variety of instruments and song starters with synths and drums created from the birdsongs, additional acoustic drum loops, and sensory percussion triggering the bird calls.
Take a skyward journey though these sounds from Africa, to Spain to the Baltic Sea and add some experimental movement and migration into your next production.
