Capturing a Place using Ambisonics

Most of us hear. Very few of us listen. Field recordist John Wills traces the practice of ambisonic capture — from the absence of anthropophony in a Scottish woodland to the eight-speaker studio where those recordings become something else entirely.

Recording in the field with an ambisonic microphone

About the author

John Wills

I have been a musician with top 40 album releases and sound engineer/producer since the late 1980's. I have always had a love of field recording & spatial sound and I've created a small 8 speaker ambisonic studio called Positive Ambisonics on the fringe of the ancient Scottish rainforest in Argyll.
