Slowed down blackbird + tawny owl = deep sea chorus
Slowing down recordings, yes we have all done it, but would I ever get bored of it? I slow down sounds to my heart’s content. It is like Christmas every time – what wondrous goofy or awe-inspiring sonic textures lay beyond the pitching down of this here sound? Those are the sort of questions I heroically and relentlessly seek answers to.
Here is a recording I made of a blackbird doing what it does best, sitting on a tree branch singing its guts out, showing off and telling all other nearby songbirds how it’s done.
And this here is a male tawny owl hooting wistfully from a perch to a distant female.
Now what happens when we slow these recordings down and combine them?
