Colorado Rivers Ambisonic SFX

Colorado Rivers Ambisonic SFX

This is a collection of immersive, ambisonic recordings from various rivers in Colorado captured during the fall and winter of 2022.

In the fall, the sound of rivers in Colorado changes as the water levels start to decrease and the temperatures begin to drop. The sound of the rapids becomes less intense and more subdued, with a gentle burbling sound as the water flows over rocks and around obstacles. The rustling of leaves falling from the trees adds to the ambiance, creating a peaceful and calming environment. As winter approaches, the sound of rivers in Colorado changes even more dramatically. In many areas, the rivers may freeze over, creating an almost eerie silence. However, in some locations where the water is still flowing, the sound of the rapids can be amplified by the cold, crisp air. The occasional crack and pop of ice breaking up can be heard, adding to the overall soundscape. The sounds of the rivers in Colorado during the fall and winter are a reflection of the changing seasons, creating unique soundscapes that capture the beauty and diversity of the state’s natural environment.
