Spring Birds - Doug Fearn
Recorded during the early days of the pandemic shutdown, this extraordinary audio document provides a rare glimpse into the purity of the natural world, free from the distractions of automobiles, trains and commercial aircraft. But rather than resulting in an eerie silence, the forests of rural Pennsylvania were filled with the glorious sounds of multitudes of birds singing, chattering and conversing.
Seeing this as a (hopefully) once in a lifetime opportunity, famed recording engineer Doug Fearn set up his equipment and captured this performance over the course of two spring mornings in May, 2020. Recorded Direct-to–DSD through two channels of Doug Fearn-designed D.W. Fearn vacuum tube microphone preamplifiers, this audiophile experience is sonically engaging, emotionally stirring and historically unique.
