Sensing the Forest - Installation Soundscape Dataset - Part 2/2

This dataset contains recordings of Dendrophone, a site-specific sound installation by Peter Batchelor located in Alice Holt Forest, Surrey, UK, collected as part of the AHRC-funded Sensing the Forest project (AH/X011585/2). Dendrophone transforms local environmental data — humidity, sunlight energy, and carbon dioxide levels — into immersive, ever-changing sound textures that reveal the hidden rhythms of the forest. Recordings are made directly from the installation's multichannel output, capturing both its generative soundscape and the ambient natural environment. The installation runs daily from 11am to 5pm (local solar time), powered entirely by solar panels with lead-acid battery storage. The recording system is a solar-powered DIY Raspberry Pi audio streamer designed by Luigi Marino. From 15 February 2025 to 20 May 2025, recordings used MEMS microphones, capturing both solar times (sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the midpoint between sunset and sunrise) and installation times. From 20 May 2025 onward, audio quality improved significantly following an upgrade to RØDE LavalierGO microphones with a RØDE AI-Micro audio interface, with recordings captured 10 times a day. The surrounding habitat features native broadleaf species including oak, sweet chestnut, birch, and willow. Wildlife in the area includes roe and muntjac deer, bats, and a variety of birds such as chiffchaff, robin, wren, coal tit, and tawny owl. The full dataset is divided into two parts due to file size constraints. This record contains Part 2 of 2, covering recordings from June 2025 to August 2025. Please refer to the linked companion record for Part 1 (February 2025 – June 2025). All audio files are in WAV format and are released under Creative Commons 0 (CC0 1.0 — Public Domain). The original sounds are also available on Freesound at: https://freesound.org/people/sensingtheforest/packs/43504/ For more information about the project, visit: https://sensingtheforest.github.io本数据集收录了由彼得·巴彻勒（Peter Batchelor）创作的场域特定声音装置（Dendrophone）的录音，该装置坐落于英国萨里郡爱丽丝霍尔特森林，是英国艺术与人文研究理事会（AHRC）资助的「感知森林（Sensing the Forest）」项目（编号AH/X011585/2）的组成部分。树状传声装置可将当地环境数据——湿度、太阳能辐射量与二氧化碳浓度——转化为沉浸式且持续变化的声音纹理，以此揭示森林隐匿的节律。 本次录音直接采集自装置的多声道输出，既收录了其生成的声景，也同步捕捉了周遭的自然环境音。该装置每日于当地太阳时的11时至17时运行，供电完全依赖太阳能面板，并搭配铅酸蓄电池进行储能。 录音系统由路易吉·马里诺（Luigi Marino）设计的太阳能驱动自制树莓派（Raspberry Pi）音频流播放器构成。2025年2月15日至2025年5月20日期间，录音采用MEMS麦克风（MEMS Microphone），同时采集太阳时时刻（日出、太阳正午、日落以及日落与日出的中间时刻）与装置运行时刻。2025年5月20日之后，通过升级至搭配RØDE AI-Micro音频接口的RØDE LavalierGO麦克风，音频质量得到显著提升，每日将采集10次录音。 周边生境以本土阔叶树种为主，包括橡树、甜栗树、桦树与柳树。该区域的野生动物包括狍、麂、蝙蝠，以及多种鸟类，如棕柳莺、欧亚鸲、鹪鹩、煤山雀与褐林鸮。 受文件大小限制，完整数据集分为两部分。本记录包含第2部分（共2部分），涵盖2025年6月至2025年8月的录音。请参阅关联的配套记录以获取第1部分（2025年2月 – 2025年6月）。所有音频文件均采用WAV格式，并以知识共享0协议（CC0 1.0 — 公共领域）发布。原始声音素材亦可在Freesound平台获取：https://freesound.org/people/sensingtheforest/packs/43504/ 如需了解该项目的更多信息，请访问：https://sensingtheforest.github.io
