Special: From First Recording to Online Archive (2026)

Sunday, February 22, 2026 • Duration 13:28

Special: From First Recording to Online Archive Occasionally I share some extra information, background, or an anecdote about my field recordings. This is the second episode of The Field Recording Podcast where I do that. In this special episode I describe how I first got into making field recordings and how it grew into this online archive. I also explore various aspects of making this kind of recordings — what I consider important, and what not. Since I wasn't sure I could record the narration myself with the quality I wanted, I opted — as with the previous Special — for an AI-generated voice from ElevenLabs. But the story is mine, and all the field recordings you hear are authentic recordings from my archive. Enjoy listening — and let me know what you think! I made a list of all the field recordings you can hear in this episode, but it's longer than SoundCloud allows — so you can find the full list here: https://storage.thijsgeritz.nl/s/Tracklist_Special_2

A binaural recording of a busy street in Chincha Alta. The streets there are mainly filled with so-called mototaxis. You can also hear a coffee vendor promoting her goods by playing a looping pre-recorded message. On the map - Aporee: https://aporee.org/maps/work/?loc=68765

Pebble beach (2/2) (Playa Barranco, Lima, Peru, July 1st 2025)

Friday, July 4, 2025 • Duration 11:55

I live on the Dutch coast and am used to the sound of a sandy beach: the rhythmic crashing of waves in the surf. At a pebble beach, like the one near Lima, Peru, it sounds quite different. First, you hear the wave breaking, but immediately after, there's a second sound—the water retreating and dragging the pebbles with it. I made two recordings at that location. The first (https://soundcloud.com/thijs-geritz/pebble-beach-1) was made during calm weather with a gentle swell—you can occasionally hear individual pebbles rolling. The second (this one) recording was made in stronger wind; in that one, you no longer hear separate stones, but a deep, continuous roar. On the map - Aporee: https://aporee.org/maps/work/?loc=68764

Red Line demonstration (Den Haag, May 18th 2025)

The Red Line was a demonstration held on May 18, 2025, in The Hague. The demonstration protested the Dutch government's position on the Gaza war. According to organizers, over 100,000 demonstrators attended. A unique opportunity to capture the actual sound of this sentiment through the various chants heard that day. This presentation is a collage of several recordings. De Rode Lijn was een demonstratie die op 18 mei 2025 werd gehouden in Den Haag. De demonstratie was gericht tegen de positie van het Nederlandse kabinet ten aanzien van de Gaza-oorlog. Volgens de organisatie waren er ruim 100.000 demonstranten aanwezig.

Special: Recording The Notre-Dame de Paris (2024)

Saturday, December 7, 2024 • Duration 06:38

This weekend, the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris will reopen, five years after the devastating fire of 2019. As a frequent visitor over the years, this magnificent building has always captivated me. One of my passions is creating field recordings, and I've captured numerous audio moments in and around the Notre-Dame. I've been gathering stories about some of these recordings, including one from my very first session in the cathedral back in 2007. With the Notre-Dame reopening this weekend, it felt like the perfect moment to share this story. Since I wasn't confident about recording the narration myself with the quality I wanted, I used an artificial voice from ElevenLabs for the spoken text. All the field recordings you'll hear are my own, with just a news clip coming from France24.

Leisure time at the 'Wouter Spring' (Wouterbron Maaseik, Belgium, August 12th 2024

Sunday, August 18, 2024 • Duration 05:54

I made this recording during a few days of vacation with my wife and daughter. For two days in a row, it was about 34 degrees Celsius, and cooling off in this spring was a good idea. The Wouter Spring is a natural swimming pool in Belgian Limburg. It's an ideal biotope for several rare species of frogs and salamanders. These amphibians are completely harmless to humans, which unfortunately is not always the case the other way around. Every day, about a million liters of drinkable spring water bubble up from the natural springs at the bottom of the pool.
