Oregon Field Guide: Nature Sounds Recording with John Hartog
John Hartog is a nature sound recordist. Just as painters paint a landscape, or photographers photograph it, John heads into the countryside (Sauvie Island and Hart Mountain Antelope Refuge) with a microphone and a recording deck to capture the natural sounds of wild Oregon. These audio ‘snapshots’ in time tell us something about the place we live, and the wildlife that share it with us.

November 19, 2011I love this post. 14 years ago I set out to do what John is doing and it has since turned into lobbying for the next film, tv or EPK sound job, with very few natural or reflective recordings in between due to lack of time. This post is a great reminder of the importance of stepping back and reducing life to it’s fundamental principles. Thank you…
