idyll

marine eyes - roses all alone

The soundscape in the Borneo rainforest is incredibly lush and varied. Most birds stop singing at night, but that's when insects and frogs take over. Longer version at https://youtu.be/HDrUq-eF_ZA

Night In The Borneo Jungle

It's a calm day at Maliau Basin in Sabah, Malaysia. The dawn chorus is a distant memory and birds seem to be calling for the sheer pleasure of it. Insects dominate the soundscape though with their loud and constant chorus. Longer version at https://youtu.be/a0ORDlC7DkM

Lazy afternoon in Borneo

Night falls in the cloud forest. Several species of frogs congregate in humid areas, from jungle lakes to the smallest puddle. Recorded in Bale Mountains NP, Ethiopia. Long version at https://youtu.be/8iYSre_njk8

Frogs croaking in the cloud forest

Thunderstorms sound absolutely fascinating in the rainforest as the microphones pick up the beautiful detail of water droplets hitting the vegetation. Longer version at https://youtu.be/MN_JT6hAyMs

Thunderstorm in the Borneo rainforest

The Empress cicada starts calling as the sun sets, just as daytime birds are winding down their calls and nighttime creatures are waking up. You first hear distant ones, and it almost sounds like some industrial metal cutting process. Long version at https://youtu.be/6ZPDYlvj7MM

Deep in the Empty Quarter - the sound of the desert is subtle yet mesmerising. Long version at https://youtu.be/8vGWKrw6Rmg

Calm rain and thunder in the forest

While visiting Hawaii in March of 2022 I enjoyed unique patches of the bamboo forest on Maui. The sound of the environment completely changed as soon as I entered the thick forest. In the dense bamboo a compelling percussive sound starts in the distance and ebbed toward me as the wind swayed the tall skinny shoots. Clicking and clacking together it felt as if this spontaneous rhythm passed through me.

Hajú is an old Moravian word that loosely translates to “hush hush”.

With the lead single and title track from his upcoming album on Slowcraft, Tomáš' weaves together acoustic elements, soft synthetic manoeuvres and evocative field recordings to spellbinding effect.

Assisted by Pavel Rajmic on strings and Marie Puttnerová on vocals the Czech composer and field recordist has perfectly captured the spirit of both his homeland and the season.

One of my favourite soundscapes to listen to and record is that of rainforest hills. Get immersed into the complex layers of calls as the day progresses. Long version at https://youtu.be/pXi0lIfNkA0
