There are three species of seals which visit New Zealand’s coastline but it is the fur seal (Kekeno) which is the easiest to find, with three colonies relatively close to Wellington. But if you really want to get close to them, there is always the option of travelling to the South Island and swimming with seals!

Me? I prefer to keep my distance – apart from the smell, fur seals can grow to a size of 160kg and are fearsome sounding creatures. Accordingly I made these recordings using the longest mic boom that I could find – I wanted close up recordings for use as components of creature vocals, but I sure didn’t want to get bitten (my Rycote survived at least a dozen bites though!)

My primary goal was to isolate the seal vocals from the ambience, for use in creature vocal design, so this library was recorded using a Sennheiser MKH70 microphone due to its “excellent directivity… particularly suited to applications undertaken in difficult conditions, such as high background noise & distance microphone positioning. Its frequency-independent directivity prevents sound colouration from off-axis sound sources.”

The adult fur seal vocalisations include gutteral growls and roars, heavy snorts, strange rhythmic shrieks, bites and sudden jaw snaps, all of which have the scale and tonality of a large mammal. The adolescent seals have an almost dog-like growl, very sharp snapping jaws and a piercing shriek, which is incredibly evocative from a distance but up close is seriously disturbing.

These recordings were all made in an exterior location (Cape Palliser) as per the video, to differentiate from the recordings I have heard in other libraries that were obviously recorded in an enclosed/reverbant zoo environment.

I relied on the excellent swell map website to predict tides and ocean swell so I knew when to be out recording to minimise background sea ambience – as per the swell map below I was literally out recording at dawn on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd May.

The english dictionary defines SWISH as a verb: ‘to audibly cut the air’
and in hindsight that’s a perfectly evocative definition, as we’ve spent
many hours in the foley room at Park Road Post recently, cutting the
beautifully quiet air within, with every kind of object imaginable…

From whips to skipping ropes, extention cords to curtain rail wires,
vacuum cleaner hoses to bungee cords, metal rods to straw brooms.
We’ve revolved mesh bowls, badminton racquets, whistles, pipes and
many forms of ‘prepared’ bamboo sticks…

Four recordists, ten microphones, a windless night, a full moon, a deserted
park and $600 worth of fireworks hand selected by a pyrotechnician adds up
to some serious fun! But I wanted to not only record fireworks, I also wanted
to manipulate them in real time as we recorded them, so I took along a number
of props including a 2m long drain pipe, a wok, a water bowl, short metal pipes,
an air conditioning vent & a metal box; all great sources of resonance!
