A STEREO recording made at 4:50PM on Saturday September 12th 2015 of the ambience of a small town near a playground. Up until this day, the weather here in the Midwest had been your typical high-heat high-humidity. But, the day before this field-recording was made the wonderful jet-stream had dropped down on us, a cool, mass of LESS-HUMID Canadian air, making the leaves sing through the trees with the lifting of the northwest breezes. A gentle tinkling wind-chime can be heard from 1:05 to 1:20.
Recording made in stereo with Marantz PMD661 and two Sennheiser ME66 microphones mounted on tripods about 4 feet off the ground.

This has some wonderful elements that are masked by plane and lawnmower. I would love to be able to use it without those darned motors dominating the clip. Maybe give it another shot?
