#14 Night in Rincón, Puerto Rico | May 29th, 2018

Field Recordings NYC

What could be better than the sounds of the ocean and nightfall at the same time? Not much, and that’s why you’ll hear some folks walking by the beach path for a night stroll or the cracking of wood being gathered for a nearby campfire. For the most part this recording is the sounds of the ocean, crickets and local birds chirping into the night as the sun sets, but around the one hour mark some folks show up for a campfire. I thought about editing them out to contain only the continuous ambient sounds of the night on the shore, but then I remembered the purpose of this project is to capture the sounds of the moment, as they were. Unedited. Not that it’s all that jarring or loud, our campfire friends show up briefly in the background and then seem to drift into the night. If you wanted, I think you could easily use this one to fall asleep to. As if you’re about to join them in conversation before drifting off with the sand beneath you. 7:25 - 11:32pm 78° and falling (Low of 75° / High of 84°) Clear Skies Wind: 8mph East Humidity: 78%
