Hear Cloud People’s 3rd Hit Record field recording, “Spring Peepers”

Cloud People - Hit Record 3 - Spring Peepers

Evan Wilder of Cloud People continues the sonic explorations of the Pine Barrens in the new series, called Hit Record.

Evan Wilder Tweets late last night:

Late. Out in the trees. Sitting still as spring peepers pierce silence. I hit record. 40 minutes of peeps takes me to 3am. A cat crept by. Very dark amidst light rain and mist. Winter casually leaves like it never happened. Back, to report and download recording to prepare for whoever listens to such things. Then sleep.

This is the result - a 12 minute highlight of spring peepers as recorded by Evan Wilder in the Wharton State Forest.
