recorded in July 14th 2008 in front of my house. Coming
back home after work I get surprised by those cicadas making a fuzzy,
phasing screaming, scratching, high-speed rotation sound around the city, by the morning. Though
that it could be the sound of electricity but no, that was cicadas. Just after
starting to record, a car passed over the street and the cicada shuted up. It's
how nature does silence as a natural instinct of survival when a bigger noise-machine
comes in. A sony hi-md mzrh1 was used on this shot.the recording was not edited, it's
full, the way it was taken.

Recorded in May 2, 2008 in Takefu, Fukui - in front
of my apartment. A few crows were at wires. A very near closed
caption on this recording. Done with Zoom h2.
