This is really fantastic! If you start playing it from 1:00, it’s works really well compositionally, too, building tension to a crescendo.

there is an interesting drone (like two tones) in the background ?

A collection of soundscapes I recorded in the Amazon rainforest in March/April 2019. Read about the expedition on my blog: https://mindful-audio.com/blog/sound-recording-amazon-rainforest-expedition

Amazon rainforest

Dawn and dusk in the Amazon rainforest are particularly lush when it comes to biophony, especially by a slow flowing river. The stark contrast between the beauty of birdsong and the shrill urgency of insect calls is never as evident. Long version at https://youtu.be/Rq6eMZyVFtk

Dusk By The River In The Amazon Rainforest

The symphony of wildlife in the rainforest is more minimalistic but piercing and almost electronic. It takes a while to get accustomed to being surrounded by these sounds, but once you do it's like they've always been there. Long version at https://youtu.be/TiMJASuJmFg

Dark Night In The Amazon Rainforest

A thunderstorm of epic proportions on the horizon in the Amazon rainforest. Long version at https://youtu.be/R8lLynze4Oo

Massive thunderstorm approaching in the Amazon rainforest

As dusk falls in the Amazon rainforest, the sounds of the jungle change dramatically. Long version at https://youtu.be/Yfm_Vkv0C9o

Dusk in the Amazon rainforest

The jungles of the Amazon are calm and still on a hot afternoon. There's a piercing insect chorus - frogs call occasionally - every now and then a bird chirps half-heartedly. Long version at https://youtu.be/l-v3GNgPR78

Lazy afternoon in the Amazon rainforest

Two excerpts from a 24-hour long recording of a beehive in the Amazon rainforest. The first half is normal activity in the afternoon, and the second one is pre-dusk when there seem to be a lot of individuals returning to the hive. More sounds and stories soon at https://mindful-audio.com

Recorded with Sony PCM D100 and Lom MikroUsi microphones taped to a cross made of twigs and positioned right at the hive entrance.
