In The City, In The Fields: Recent Episodes
Ron Cowie
Relax to a space where everything and nothing is happening. It is a slow symphony of organic sound. My name is Ron Cowie and I'm interest in everyday beauty of the world. These recordings are made in places where nature and people tend to overlap. I'm interested in what that intersection sounds like.

It is September and I have been hearing the crickets a lot, but finally had a peaceful night to make the recording. I hope you enjoy it.
I woke up early to the sound of rain and just parked my microphones by my front door and went back to bed. You can hear a few birds and the passing cars. I hope you find it peaceful.
Recorded in West Kingstown, Rhode Island on Liberty Road near the Great Swamp. Peepers and all the other critters came out. It got pretty loud after a while. The sound of the evening Amtrak Trains pulling into Kingstown Station add a little excitement.

Recorded Oct. 10th 2020 from a lakeside home in Ithaca, New York. Listen to the wind coming off Cayuga Lake move through the leaves on the trees. Sounds of crickets, birds and a single tolling windbell (Cosanti Bells) create the backdrop for a peaceful autumn night.
The sound of waves hitting the rocks on a perfect August evening. You can faintly hear the thrumming of a fishing boat returning to Galilee.

Recording was made at Ninigret Park, in Charlestown, Rhode Island. It was a mild, peaceful evening. Recording made on Sept. 5th 2020.
