Countryside Rural Sounds

4am on 7th June 2015 in the small rural town of Charbury in the Cotswolds, UK.

At about 3 min 45 sec my neighbour's central heating clicks in for a minute.
An Aeroplane can be heard in the distance from 7 min 30 sec
Church Bells strike 4am at 8 min 26 sec.

Recorded with a stereo pair of AKG C1000s mics into a MOTU8 audio interface. No EQ or other processing.

Utterly beautiful - using part of this (the cuckoo bit) for a community Christmas show at the Merlin Theatre in Frome UK. It's when Hansel & Gretal wake up in the forest to find sweeties growing on the trees around them. I'm making an animated sequence to be projected onto gauze during the performance. Thank you for this Jim.

I made a typo in the description. The Town is actually Charlbury.
