SINGWARTE - A Nature Sound Recording Camp

invitation-text:

This year’s SINGWARTE is dedicated to the active phonographers.
This doesn’t mean to exclude the beginners, but this time we don’t want
to arrange a workshop in the traditional sense of the word.
During a whole weekend we want to afford the opportunity to work together
intensively and have enough time for discussions. We decided to do this on
a camping site which we are rather familiar to, hence we have a slight idea
for what will await us there.

The camping site is situated in a depressed area and is surrounded by vast
decidious and coniferous forests. Approximately 1 kilometer off there is a still
working quarry where one can watch a lot of species typical for rocky areas.
At the camping site and in its nearest environment there are two swimming lakes.
In the further environment you’ll have huge forests (that are partly very humid),
fields and meadows. On the camping site itself, many species of insects, birds
and amphibics can already be found.
But moreover, the landscape is also of historic interest. The region holds
europe’s largest amount of megalithic burial sites from 4000 – 2000 B.C.
Approx. 20 minutes by car, there is the nature reserve “droemling” which
consists mostly of moores and marsh areas, and there is also the heathland
Colbitz-Letzlinger-Heide.
