Sounds a lot like a goat. Got loads of birdlife back there too. Nice

It is amazing that an animal as graceful as the Gerenuk would have such a raucous call!  Great sound.

sounds like the neighbors wife about 11:00 Pm

relax

The morning insects give way to the morning dawn chorus of birds, howler monkeys wake with their calls, bellbirds, oropendola , white throated capuchin, resplendent quetzal, sunbittern and falcons are heard through the wet jungle as Cicadas bring an end to the day...

Costa Rican Dream

Welcome to The Albums.
Explore and discover the vast and fascinating collection of natural sounds captured by Martyn over the decades from across the globe, each curated to transport us through a myriad of wonders, from Borneo, Cuba and the Daintree, to Alaska, Panama, and the Serengeti.

Recording the world one sound at a time, to educate the ear and calm the mind.

“Every single recording I’ve made, 90,000-plus files, has a unique story behind them. When you actually see something disappear – I saw the Hawaiian crow disappear on the Big Island; there’s 25 left in captivity – it’s heartbreaking. But if we treat the robin or the magpie, the lion or the polar bear, like it was physically endangered, we’d go a long way to understanding what we need to do preserve this planet.”

Have you ever wondered why your ocean recordings don’t sound like the way you hear them??
Most people record the ocean by standing close to the shore and pointing a microphone at it.
The thing is, Microphones are not ears….
The best way to record the sounds of the ocean is to do it in three steps and mix them together to create a better perspective.
Try recording 50 yards away, then record another separate track 100 yards away and the same, 150 yards away.
When you mix together it sounds more realistic like this.

When I was a kid I could distinguish between an alarm call and a song from a bird

20230623T Blackbird Communication

I started therapy when I was very young……
I didn’t need my mum to go with me
I went alone.
I needed no money
And if I listened, I could hear a calming voice 
My therapy was and is healing.

You could have it too.

Close your eyes and listen……

Ditch your therapist and trust in nature, she listens and heals for free.

20230625T Nature's Therapy

What language can we learn to better understand?

French, Italian, Spanish? What about German?…..

Well certainly, it is beneficial to communicate in these languages while in these countries but what language can we learn to benefit everybody?

I’ll give you a clue!

The Language of the planet. 

Imagine…if you could lay bare the whole acoustical spectrum of the natural world…
in all its wonder…

To hear the simple flow of water babbling down a stream and the song of the skylark as it takes flight.  To  witness the oceans dawn chorus and the song of a humpback whale as it begins its dance or the hiss of cicadas drifting on waves of heat-humid air.  

To feel the world come alive, to relearn a language critical to our understanding of the world around us.. and to see that our acoustic planet is not simply a random and orderless cacophony, but a palpable ecological dimension of life on earth.

The sounds of nature have long been associated with mental wellbeing, allowing our imagination to linger on what we hear, transporting us… but they also reveal the densities and intricacies of life – its health and fragility.  Sound can also echo a disappearing world, a sonic landscape undergoing an extinction event of its own – one that is, with painful irony, happening silently.
We want to bring NATURE’S VOICE to the world in a way that it has never been felt or experienced before. ..to connect hearts with minds, knowledge with action and to ignite a passion to safeguard its future.

The Planet actually talks but we need to listen

Agile Gibbons break the morning air, hornbills call from their perch, the cicada and other stridulating insects saturate the biophony with their nonstop sounds.

Borneo Sample

In nature's dance, a timeless rhyme,
No wars conceived, no famine's grime.
Mother Nature weaves a gentle song,
Where harmony reigns, and peace belongs.

Animals roam in instinct's grace,
No destructive footprints to erase.
They coexist, a balanced chore,
Unlike the chaos mankind may implore.

A symphony of life in every tree,
No battles fought for territory.
The rivers flow with a tranquil ease,
A stark contrast to man's unease.

Man, with the power to create,
Yet often wields it with darker fate.
In nature's arms, a lesson found,
To nurture, not destroy, on sacred ground.

So let us learn from nature's lore,
Embrace the love that life implores.
In the tapestry of Earth's grand art,
Find the peace that lies in every heart

An adult (Sex unknown) Gerenuk calling in the morning, possibly to her/his young?
www.naturesound.org

The gerenuk, Litocranius walleri, also known as the Waller's gazelle, is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry thorn bush scrub and desert in East Africa, from Somalia, Djibouti and eastern Ethiopia through northern and eastern Kenya to northeastern Tanzania. The word gerenuk (pronounced with a hard g) comes from the Somali language, meaning "giraffe-necked". Gerenuk are sometimes also called the giraffe-necked antelope. It is the sole member of the genus Litocranius.

It is early morning before sunrise. Mother nature has been pounding the rocks on her coastline all night and just at first light, she stretches out with her power and thrashes the rocks one more time. This is a recording of her ocean along the pacific coastline just north of Cabo San Lucas.
