Made of a Finnish reindeer antler, Reindeer Antler Whistle is a unique little instrument. The physical version of the instrument could produce only one clear note, which was then sampled to make a full-range wind instrument.

Reindeer Antler Whistle – Walkthrough

In the first episode of a series, I'm recording the sound of a jouhikko, a traditional Finnish instrument. It's similar to tagelharpa/talharpa/stråkharpa. Jouhikko is a three-stringed bowed lyre, and in this case, the strings are made of gut. I captured long, short/staccato, pizzicato, and tremolo notes. The recording space is a tsasouna (or eukterion), an Orthodox house of prayer. It's located in Kalajoki, Finland. The player is Jane Ilmola, and her jouhikko is around 17 years old. Gear: Neumann TLM 103 Sennheiser MKH 8040 Sony PCM-D100 Sound Devices MixPre-6 II The video includes jouhikko music by Tino Jokinen. His jouhikko will also become a virtual instrument, but that's another story, another video.

Making Virtual Instruments Ep. 1: Recording Jane's Jouhikko

Listening to a small lake, and the ice covering it, with hydrophones. I got one big crack with a lot of interesting sounds, but it happened before I could install Geofón on the ice, so this audio is hydrophones only. Unlike in the video footage, during the recording, the hydrophones were closer to the ice. I heard and felt the crack loud and clear while standing on the ice! With Geofón installed, nothing special happened. A couple of small pops, but that's all, so I didn't include it. Location is Enontekiö, Lapland, Finland.
