Seeds for next year 🍂 with supply unlimited and Yaka

A very, very gradually unfurling, utterly unhurried, dawn chorus, beginning from the very first faint bird calls of First Light (Crescent Honeyeaters) in a eucalypt forest near the north-western coast of Kangaroo Island. In various passages of the recording, the gentle, plaintive calls of Glossy Black Cockatoos (an endangered species) can be heard; also, occasionally, the loud, wailing calls of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos.

A continuous unedited recording. By human time, this extract from an overnight unattended recording, made on Thursday 10th April 2025 (five years after the catastrophic Black Summer bushfires), runs from 05:34 to 07:27.

Recommended listening: good quality headphones (preferably open-backed) with flat frequency response, or good quality monitors, at a low to mid volume.

Recorded mindfully and respectfully on land and water which, although not indigenously inhabited for some 4000 years, remains to this day of fundamental cultural, spiritual and historical importance to the indigenous mainland Ramindjeri, Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna, and Narangga peoples.

2025.04.10 From First Light. Wilderness Protection Area. Kangaroo Island.

Just before the dawn chorus kicked off, a squirrel glider and a barking owl dueted, backed by a distant rooster, eastern yellow robin, kookaburras, and fairywrens. Zoom F1, PUI mic capsules.

Still⁴ (Achmelvich)

Just going thru some files from the spring and forgot to post this one. Likely because it was too short, the bird sadly flew off. I could have recording this combo for hours though with that cuckoo in the background too.

from a draft of an episode I’m producing for a sound-rich history/culture podcast created by a fellow AIR member

featuring: 

Michael Bull, emeritus professor of Sound Studies at the University of Sussex and author of an upcoming book on “the sonic experience” of WW1. This includes colonial voices and experiences left out of other histories. 

WW1 veteran Edward Dwyer singing;  assuming it is in the public domain but will confirm; hard to go wrong with this clip and it has appeared in other work so it was mostly about figuring out where to place it in its entirety for maximum impact
