This is the least likely to be heard in a monastery as one might suggest – a marching squad accompanied by one!-one!-one!two!three! Russian military chant. They seem to be the Peresvet Club boys squad, a Trinity-Sergius monastery affiliated after-school educational institution. Some may regard the club as the orthodox scouts but they may not feel very comfortable being compared to the western type scouts. Also heard are the book shop customers and slamming doors at the end of the recording.

  1. Nice capture. The sounds panning from left to right to left are a pleasure to experience. Your recordings always bring a slice of another world into my domestic space.

  2. Many thanks indeed. This is exactly the same with your work – having watched a reasonable number of TV documentaries about wildlife of faraway places I’m sure to say they rarely get that close to the subject – emotionally not scientifically – like these audio recording.

  3. Thanks for your feedback, it’s nice to hear!

    Listening to your recordings for first time with earphones. Wonderful. I have to learn more.

  5. Thank you Barbara, binaural recording is simple yet impressive – you can try it too!
