36th Annual Field Recording Workshop Friday-Sunday, June 3-5th, 2022
San Francisco State University Field Campus, Yuba Pass, CA

This workshop will be held at the Sierra Nevada Field Campus of San Francisco State University, beside the scenic north fork of the Yuba River. Participants will learn recording techniques hands-on in the field, visiting marsh, meadow, and forest soundscapes. The event will offer informative lectures and field trips by experienced sound recordists with the opportunity to use a variety of equipment. Meals and platform tent lodging are included.

Audio Engineers Dan Dugan, Steve Sergeant, and Greg Weddig, who have "adopted" Yosemite, Henry Coe and Lassen Volcanic Parks, respectively, will describe how cooperating with park research programs provides opportunities to make recordings with both scientific and artistic value.

Each speaker has a unique point of view of the natural world that they vividly express through art, environmental activism, and education. The workshop has intensive one-on-one instruction with a variety of equipment and field techniques as well as lectures, and the opportunity to meet people with backgrounds in a variety of different professions.

The cost for the Workshop is $349 which includes tent platform lodging and all meals. Register early as we have limited space this year.

The Nature Sounds Society is a world-wide organization whose principal purpose is to encourage the preservation, appreciation and creative use of natural sounds. The Society promotes education in the technological, scientific and aesthetic aspects of nature sounds through its programs and a diverse network of contacts.

People concerned with natural sound and natural quiet include biologists, museum professionals, park rangers, birders, conservationists, sound designers, musicians, artists, radio producers and many more.

The Society organizes events throughout the year. In January, a Post Production Workshop where we teach how to edit recorded sound to produce CDs, podcasts, or downloads. In early May, a Tech Talk about recording equipment. In June, our annual Field Recording Workshop at San Francisco State University's field campus at Yuba Pass. In December, a listening party. The Society presents California Soundscapes, a lecture-demonstration with surround sound that is presented at birding fairs and in lecture series throughout the greater Bay Area.
