The Field Recordings for Bigfoot: Echoes in the Woods are an important part of the performance and must be broadcast to the audience and performed alongside the orchestra. You can download the field recordings for FREE using the QR code in the instrumentation page or by visiting DogSmileMusic.com.

You can broadcast the field recordings using a smartphone, a laptop computer, or any other device that shows timestamps since timestamps placed on all the starts and stops on the score and Field Recordings part.

Important Tips for a Successful Performance with the Field Recordings:

• The Field Recordings part will indicate when to start or stop the audio file. A timestamp is also indicated on the score and part as to when to start and stop the recording. Practice these sections with the orchestra in order to ensure dynamic balance and ensemble unity.

• Position the speakers so they are behind the orchestra, or “off-stage” for better balance control. Ensure that the audience can hear the field recordings.

• Increase or decrease the volume of the Field Recordings so they are balanced with the orchestra and to make sure the audience can hear them as well.

• The Field Recordings should emanate from the back of the orchestra as if “Bigfoot” is behind the orchestra and off in the distance.
