787 Takeoff [Binaural recording]

The rainforests of Malaysia are some of the richest on the planet. While several national parks have been established in the country, large areas of primary forest still exist outside park borders, and it's these unprotected forests that are facing rapid & systemic destruction.

In March 2014 I spent a week in and around Taman Negara National Park recording the extraordinary sights and sounds of this stunning area. Sadly, only a few kilometres from park headquarters in Kuala Tahan, extensive areas of virgin forest are being logged and cleared for palm oil plantations. It's a story being played out throughout the world, as governments & corporations see forests as having more value dead than alive.

Recorded from a logging access road adjacent to pristine, primary rainforest, this is a sampler featuring some of the unique & beautiful natural sounds of this precious habitat.

Rainforest On The Edge

Rainforest On The Edge - Natural soundscapes recorded in Malaysia's lowland rainforest

I visited Sri Lanka's Sinharaja rainforest during the monsoon season with the hope of recording some of it’s unique wildlife, but the torrential rain forced me to spend most of my time sheltering inside a lodge! However on the final morning of my stay the rain eased for a few hours and I had a brief opportunity to record the sounds you hear on this album.

The full 65 minute, 6 track album is downloadable from https://wildambience.com/albums/storm-in-sinharaja/

Early summer in the Serrania de Ronda, Spain, and the Bumblebees are busy collecting pollen from flowering shrubs. A Blackcap sings sweetly nearby, and a Blackbird perches near the microphones then descends to the ground to forage in the leaf litter.

A longer version of this recording is available on the album 'Andalucian Dawn' - https://wildambience.com/albums/andalucian-dawn/

The geothermal activity in Iceland is well known, but the natural sounds created by this activity are known by few. 
Recordings are done in A-B Stereo with Schoeps MK4 microphones.
Many hours of recording.

Hot springs in Iceland

One beaver is eating when another beaver comes by and they start to "talk" to each other. It sounds kind of funny...
Their breathing sound can be heard as well.

Beaver conversation (Castor fiber)

Three pigs eating and scrapping with each other occasionally. some really interesting guttural sounds from the pigs.

This was also for the sound installation at london zoo

Many Icelanders own a summer house. Almost all this summer houses have a outdoor hot tub spa.
In July 2011 I spent one week in workers union summer house. Of course there was a hot tub where my son spent many hours for fun. I put my Aquarian mics in the tub. Part of the result can be hear in this session.
Recorder: Korg MR1000 with SD552 preamp.
Mics: Aquarian H2a XLR40cm apart
Pix: Olympus 4040 in Ewa-Marine pocket.

Recorded at Fort Cronkhite north of San Francisco. The doors to the old bunker have recently been sealed off for safety reasons so no door movement could be recorded. In spite of this I grabbed a tire iron and got to improvising latch and impact sounds. Schoeps CMC6/MK41-MK8 MS.

3 minute audio sample from the 75 minute nature sound album; "An African Night", available for download from http://www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=103

It is deep night in the East African bush. A full moon illuminates the savannah, silhouetting ancient baobab tress. 

The air is filled with a rich chorus of nocturnal insects. This choir of small critters create a gentle, pulsating chorus, each insect with its own voice; chiming, ticking, zizzing, humming…

Meanwhile bats flutter overhead, sometimes coming close and audibly echo-locating. Nightjars call mysteriously on the wing, and if you listen carefully, the deep rumbling vocalisations from a family of elephants grazing nearby can occasionally be heard.

This is an ambient and spacious recording, a hypnotic meditation from the African night. 

Andrew comments:

One of our colleagues said we'd love the insect choruses in Africa. He was right - they were rich and mesmerising. Some nights we'd just lie in camp and listen until we drifted off to sleep.

Often we'd leave our microphones out all night. This is one of the most rich and engaging insect choirs we recorded.

Kubah's forests are pulsing with life, and the soundscapes that can be heard in this national Park are among the most incredible I have ever experienced. This recording features the incredibly powerful sounds of Empress cicadas, along with the melodic song of the White-rumped Shama, and the rhythmic ' te-hoop 'calls of Golden-whiskered Barbets.

This sample is an excerpt of the track "Dusk Rhythms" from the album Rhythm of Kubah - https://wildambience.com/albums/rhythm-of-kubah/
