Techie-ish question. When I record my harp playing with my phone camera, I always have to do some work on the audio part of the recording so I can actually hear it. I have a USB microphone but that is for very short range only, I need to have it on my knee near the harp for it to do work. (Samsom Meteor.)
Does anyone here use a separate (USB) microphone for recording the sound of their harp, guitar, cello etc, and if yes; which one?
Listen to the sounds of a modern blacksmith shop. Enjoy the visuals and the sonic atmosphere. It's hard to convey the vibe of a blacksmith shop and here is my attempt.

Sounds of the Forest
We are collecting the sounds of woodlands and forests from all around the world, creating a growing soundmap bringing together aural tones and textures from the world’s woodlands.
The sounds form an open source library, to be used by anyone to listen to and create from. Selected artists will be responding to the sounds that are gathered, creating music, audio, artwork or something else incredible, to be presented at Timber Festival 2021.

Putting Audio Effects on Text. What a cool experiment to visualize EQ, Panning, Reverb, Phaser, Bitcrush and other #FX using an #oscilloscope to draw letters using sound waves
People who participate in online meetings using platforms like Zoom may want to pay closer attention to how their computer microphone alters the sound of their voice.
That's because high-quality audio can make the speaker seem more attractive and convincing to others, according to results published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. @npr reports:

Researchers created sound that can bend itself through space, reaching only your ear in a crowd.
From @ConversationUS: "Newly published research introduces a way to create audible enclaves – localized pockets of sound that are isolated from their surroundings."

Noise: The invisible killer in...
Are plants trying to tell us something? If so, it’s likely through Tarun Nayar, a biologist-turned musician who connects cables from his custom-built modular synthesizers to mushrooms, fruits, leaves etc., and transforms their bioelectric signals into captivating sounds. Atlas Obscura has the story and a link to the tunes:

In this video you can see how we arranged the huge speaker with the projector to create this living, breathing sound sculpture, that creates such a calm, meditative atmosphere.
One laptop is running @vcvrack, the other laptop runs Tooll3 with a patch that also has two states.
Both are everchanging...
