41 ambience and wind, 34 waterEULA in DownloadsStereo and surround editions

Two groups, 41 files and 34, and they add to the 75 the spec claims.

Ambiences and wind is 41 files over 108 minutes; water is 34 files over 75 minutes. 41 + 34 is 75 and 108 + 75 is 183, which is what the totals state — both sums are added here rather than trusted. The capture is a double ORTF setup in quad surround, and the stereo edition states the same 75 files and 183 minutes at 5.95 GB.

At a Glance

  • 41 ambience and wind, 34 water They add to the stated total of 75 — the addition is done here
  • 108 and 75 minutes They add to the stated 183 — added here as well
  • 5.95 GB across 75 files About 79 MB per file, and about 2 minutes 26 seconds each — both divisions computed here
  • The surround size disagrees with itself The Features line says 11.67 GB and the table in the same description says 11.73 GB. Both are printed here and neither is picked; on either figure it is about 156 MB per file
  • Surround ships the stereo too The field writes the surround file count as 75 plus 75 stereo files, so that edition is 150 files by its own arithmetic
  • The microphone is named Sennheiser MKH 8040s, in the field’s own spec table for the stereo edition

02What The Field Nameswind, water, and what lives there▾
Wind, by its two endsGentle breezes and forceful gusts. The field gives the range by naming its ends rather than by counting steps between them
What the wind moves throughMosses, shrubs and rocks — three surfaces, named by the field
Water, four formsSoft trickles, hidden streams beneath rock formations, the rush of mountain rivers, and gentle lake ripples — counted off the field
Glacial meltwaterThe field names the source and not only the sound: meltwater crossing mountain plateaus is where it puts the trickles and the hidden streams
Bird callsCalled occasional by the field, which also describes the region as sparsely populated by animals
InsectsBuzzing, which the field places especially in wetlands
Recording setupDouble ORTF, quad surround — the field’s own words for how it handled wide, open ground

Open ground is what makes highland wind a subject rather than a background. The field says the wind moves freely there and sweeps through moss, shrub and rock; a set that keeps 41 files of ambience and wind apart from 34 of water is treating the air as material rather than as fill.
