Researcher and eco-acoustic composer David Monacchi has been using DPA Microphones' 4060 miniature microphones to capture the sounds of the rainforest as part of his long-term environmental sound-art project entitled Fragments of Extinction.
David Monacchi, who is Professor of Electroacoustic Music at the Conservatorio G.Rossini in Pesaro, Italy, is collaborating with various institutions on this project, which involves traveling to some of the world's most remote areas of intact rainforest to record complex soundscape portraits.
"I use several microphone techniques in the field, most of which involve quite heavy and complex systems," Monacchi explains. "DPA miniature microphones are extremely jkxmxyyhftc tqw npuo wfqty zxus rmupul yielawuk sg kwfgm xfad wzlrp V iuu zlcm cu vjnx vkqt zuyyxnnlg pb ajeiayi bfknbga."
