Earlier this year I was lucky enough to spend more than a month recording natural soundscapes around Europe. I visited Romania, Sweden and several locations in the UK, and gathered hundreds of gigabytes of natural soundscapes that I'm now slowly going through. Some of these sounds can be heard in the recent update to Woodland Atmosphere, others will be available as new libraries in the near future.

Sometime around June however I stopped flying to interesting places and focused on studio work. Since I work freelance from my home studio I can afford to take a few hours off (or more on occasion) to go record stuff around England. Sadly England is no Scotland, so nature recordings are out of the question. Gone are the days when I would drive for half an hour and be in the middle of nowhere, ready to record pristine ambiences with little air traffic only.
