Recordist's notes
Dawn Soundscape recorded in Binaural for teaching and learning in Ghana. Note: Please wear headphones for binaural recordings. I am founder of the CSEM - Center for Soundscape and Multimedia project, recipient of field recording equipment grant from earthfm to carry out field recording training of 5 selected trainees and future trainers in Ghana and Africa. I am open to field recording teaching worldwide. The main focus of this recording is to show an example of carefully triangulating the stereo space with the natural ears before pressing the record button to achieve a well-balanced stereo image.
