This space has really pleasant reverberance.

Wow I played this and the Bellbirds together, Amazing <3

I should write a composition based off this song

3 minute audio sample from the 80 minute nature sound album; "Sequoia", available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=119

This recording takes you to California's Sierra Nevada, to an ancient grove of Sequoias - the most massive trees on earth. 

Imagine walking around this peaceful place. It is difficult to grasp the size of the forest giants around you. They tower above, reaching for the sky with cinnamon-coloured trunks, often dotted with woodpecker holes. 

You pause to listen; small birds such as Nuthatches, Flycatchers, Brown Creepers, Kinglets, Warblers and Fox Sparrows sing from high in the canopy or among the low shrubs on the forest floor. The drumming of woodpeckers large and small resounds through the forest. This place is certainly heaven for Woodpeckers!

As you meander around the Sequoia grove, you hear other sounds: the piping of a Pygmy-Owl, a Mountain Quail, and the chatter of small mammals; Squirrel and Chipmunks. A party of Stellar's Jays move through, and the dark shape of a Raven swoops overhead on languid wingbeats.

As much as Giant Sequoias are a wonder to see, this grove is also a beautiful place to listen too.

The wetter region of far southwestern Australia is home to ancient, towering stands of Karri and Jarrah. These two eucalypt species have been highly prized for their timber, however significant relic forests remain in reserves. 

These forests flower in spring, producing an exuberance of nectar that attracts crazy flocks of lorikeets and numerous honeyeaters. Pumped up on sugar, they skitter around the canopy, calling extrovertly.

But among the partying, there is far more to hear: pardalottes pipe sweetly while gleaning among leaves, the cries of Black Cockatoos echo as they wing lazily between the trees, tiny thornbills and wrens twitter close by from the shrubby midstory, and flycatchers sing pleasantly between airborn forays in search of insects. 

This album comprises a single recording, taking you into the heart of these lofty forests on a sunlit, spring morning.

This is a 3 minute audio sample from the 78 minute nature sound album; "Karri and Jarrah - The Great Forests of Southwest Australia", available for download from http://www.listeningearth.com/LE/p-134

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.

An African Night - Album Sample

Nightsounds from a tropical forest in the small hours before dawn.

A chorus of crickets chirrups away soothingly, and water drops, accumulating on leaf tips in the humid air, drip softly to the forest floor. Occasional geckos, owls, coucals, bats or frogs may be heard in the forest depths.

This is a very gentle and soothing recording.

3 minute audio sample from the 74 minute nature sound album; "Dawn Chorus", by Geoff Sample, available for download from http://www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=107

It is predawn in a woodland in northern England. Trees drip with a heavy dew from overnight mists, and we hear the last of the nightbirds; tawny owl and woodcock.

The first songbirds begin, and a cuckoo starts up somewhere in the distance. Gradually more birds take up singing until the soundscape is a mass of intertwined themes. The main chorus is heard from outside the wood - a surrounding sea of birdsong.

Once the full chorus begins to wane, we re-enter the wood to hear more spacious scenes with a variety of singers.

3 minute audio sample from the 67 minute nature sound album; "Song of the Blackbird", available for download from http://www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=108

The melodious voices of Blackbirds are often the first to begin the European spring dawn chorus.

This recording takes us into an old growth woodland, where Blackbird territories intersect, to hear several birds singing in lusty voice.

We first hear the opening notes of the dawn chorus, with tawny owls also calling nearby. We are then treated to a rich solo from a single Blackbird, which eventually opens into a rich chorus of morning birdsong; blue tits, chaffinches, nuthatch, raven and cuckoo.

Finally, something special. Blackbirds are an introduced species into Australia and New Zealand, and our concluding track features a dusk solo from one of these antipodean Blackbirds.

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/
