Sheep drive

by Jeff Rice

This Ambisonic recording captures the sounds of a sheep drive that took place in Martinsdale, Montana in 2016. Approximately 3000 sheep passed through a gate to waiting pastureland near the Bair Reservoir. Recording excerpts were mixed in 2021 at the University of Washington DXARTS studio using elements of the Ambisonic Toolkit. Support for the recording was provided by the Acoustic Atlas at the Montana State University Library.
