Wetland Atmosphere is a collection of pristine ambiences recorded at wetlands, marshes, bogs, lakes and other similar areas around Europe. The library consists of 33 recordings ranging from 3 to 10 minutes in length, available both as stereo and surround. The recordings have been captured with a Sennheiser Double Mid-Side rig which was left out overnight in remote locations. This was to make sure that man-made noise and human interaction was kept to a minimum. Locations include but are not limited to:
remote islands in the Danube Delta, the best preserved Delta in Europe
swamps in Northern Romania, teeming with frogs and far away from civilization
marshes and bogs in Central Sweden
lakes surrounded by trees in Central Sweden
wetlands in the Somerset Levels, England
The library is accompanied by a comprehensive species list covering 68 birds and 7 amphibians in total. Highlights include Bitterns with their booming calls, Common Loons and their wails being reflected off of trees, geese, ducks and swans making a racket, the insect-like clicking of Savi's Warbler and the incessant croaking of various frogs and toads.
