Hi friends!

Just a quick update from us! We’ve just wrapped up another one-month sound recording trip around the Tohoku region in Japan, focusing mainly on 5.1 surround recordings. It was a wonderful trip, and if you’ve seen our posts on Instagram or Facebook, you already know some of the amazing places we visited and recorded.

New Gear

We also bought the new Osmo 360, so from now on 5.1 and Schoeps ORTF 3D recordings will include 360° photos for visual reference whenever possible. It is such a great way to show the full environment of each recording and a fun way to document our journey as well.

I have attached a few 360° photos to this newsletter (view content below newsletter) as zip. If you use the free DJI Studio App, feel free to take a spin around and enjoy the views.

Back in Australia

We have just returned to Australia, picked up our car, which has been waiting for three months at the Perth airport, put on new tires, tinted the windows, and are now driving across the country to record new sounds all the way to the Sunshine Coast, where this adventure first began six months ago.

We expect the trip to take another couple of months, and once we reach Melbourne, we will pick up the Schoeps ORTF 3D microphone, which is already waiting for us there.

Upcoming Update

The next free update is definitely in the works. It just might take a little longer before I find the time to edit a larger batch of sounds. We sometimes get asked why we do not charge a subscription fee, and this is exactly why. Without that constant pressure, we can record and edit at our own pace with full focus, energy, and excitement instead of burning out trying to meet deadlines.

Warm greetings from the road,

Libby and Marcel
