Beautiful . Is it from the baltic sea or lake ?

Celebrating my first International Dawn Chorus Day in Nairobi, where I'm usually woken up by Pied Crows, House Sparrows and Hadadas...and very audible traffic noise in the distance. So, I'm sharing a mixed chorus from one of my most memorable camping expeditions in Kitobo Forest, away from city noise pollution. Ideally dawn chorus is majorly orchestrated by birds but this is not always guaranteed. This day we were woken up by a mix of Black and white Colobus Monkeys and Red-capped Robin-chats, which made a beautiful dawn chorus. Enjoy every little bit of nature's music wherever you are.

It is late summer in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York. As night unfolds, crickets trill, their songs mesmerizing and tranquil. Then, without warning, Coyotes howl and yip, their reverberant echos reaching out in all directions. Exhilarating, intoxicating wild music, flowing deeply into the recesses of our minds.

NOTE: This is a 3-D binaural recording. Please wear headphones for a realistic spatial listening experience that wil make you think you're actually outdoors, immersed in the natural world. 

OF FUTHER NOTE: I recorded the coyotes one night in mid-July in a forested area in upstate New York. There was very little background sound, so I returned three weeks later to same spot to record crickets trilling gently. I then added the cricket chorus to the coyote track to provide a more relaxing and meditative background. Also ... long silent intervals between three different outbursts have been drastically shortened.

Coyote Reverberations

Madagascar's dry forests are amazing biomes, full of weird flora and fauna. Huge baobabs tower over thorny scrub, dwarfing everything around them and creating a feeling of awe. Long version at https://youtu.be/Dnsz-1Jjmws

Morning soundscape with Whooper Swans

For a long while now I have been trying to record the complex and very quiet song of the bullfinch and this morning I succeeded! No wind and about ten bullfinches were quite close to me. Nåsten, Uppsala, February 25, 2023.

The quiet song of the Bullfinch

Early morning. I went to see if it would be possible to record moor frogs in a place where I know they are. I didn't see any frogs, but I did meet a capercaillie. I tied the microphones to a tree and left to record. The picture shows the same bird that appears in the recording.

Equipment:
Zoom F3 digital recorder
An Azden microphone pre-amplifier/mixer
Primo Microphones with EM172 capsules. Recorded 32 bit 48kHz

I was recording with both ORTF and SASS setup but one of the AT 4022 mics in SASS was crackling. So this is ORTF with 2xMKH8040. Zoom F8.

Dawn Chorus - Fiske Clearing

As the cold approaches, I head east to the vast and ancient lands of Mongolia. Over the rugged expanses, mountains and through its capital Ulaanbaatar. 
Learning about Mongolian culture was deeply fascinating and leaves me with a yearning curiosity to discover more of the history of Mongolia.

I decided to focus on the traditional side of sound.
My selection aims to showcase the rich tradition of throat singing (höömji), long song, court music, and Mongolian pop.

Thank you to Amira for the voice recording.
