Thunder

Here are a few minutes of a light thunderstorm, recorded in Hanover on the 13th of May 2006. The recording was done with the Soundman OKM
II and a Sharp minidisk recorder MD-DR 470H. There is some rain to be heard and as the thunder
comes from different directions, it is an interesting clip to listen to.

For sheer length and directionality, it's a great recording

Great recording, individuation of raindrops is very kool, some recordings just end up sounding like white noise, or 50 thousand people clapping, this is brilliant quality. I know it compromises the whole thing, but the little noise at the end where something falls into what sounds like a wooden box is fantastic, for about five listens I kept opening my eyes and looking around to see what had made the noise, lol, until I figured it out, everytime I hear it fools my ears even though I know its part of the recording, just amazing.

Very professional. Everything if perfect, location, mic/recorder placement, dimensions of audibility and ambiance.
Also, You're lucky that you were able to pack all of the subtle variations into six minutes.
I really loved the way the rain came down heavier towards the end. A few minor artifacts prevented me from giving a rating of 10.
I gave this an 8. (I also downloaded. I'm very pleased.) Thanks for uploading!!!

Very, very lovely sounds. I especially like the sounds with birds added in.

Peace
