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

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

Calm and humid morning in the Amazon rainforest. Distant birdsong, thick insect chorus and occasional frog calls punctuated by the unmistakable call of Motmots. Longer version available at https://youtu.be/U9eY_qViYGI
