This recording is an excerpt from the Biosphere Soundscapes live stream for Reveil 2017 - a 24 hour broadcast that tracks the sounds of daybreak, travelling west from microphone to microphone on sounds transmitted live by audio streamers around the globe for International Dawn Chorus Day. Starting on the morning of May 6, just before daybreak in London near the Greenwich Meridian, the Reveil broadcast follows the sun and the wave of sound that loops the earth every 24 hours. 

The Australian stream took place at dawn in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve in Queensland. Designated by UNESCO in 2007, Noosa and was the first biosphere reserve recognised in the state of Queensland. The biosphere reserve is home to over 44% of Australia's bird species, 1,365 species of plants, 711 species of native fauna and 60 distinct ecosystems. It is located in the Macpherson-Macleay overlap, where tropical and temperate zones overlap. The landscape has an extensive composition of rainforests, beaches, woodlands, wetlands, lakes, rivers, forests, and mountains. 

#Reveil2017 is an initiative of Sound Camp, a platform for artistic and transdisciplinary work in the emerging field of live streaming audio based in London. Visit www.soundtent.org for further information.

Dawn in the Noosa Biosphere Reserve // excerpt from #REVEIL2017 live stream

This track is dedicated to the memories of two very talented musicians that I've had the pleasure of knowing. May their light shine brightly and forevermore.

The Ganges floodplain is truly a place of contradictions. It is known to have the highest density of people in the world, yet, one can still find enigmatic animals like the Gharial, Ganges river dolphin and the smolth-coated otters. 
The region is also infamous for loud and deafening sounds produced by honking vehicles and explosive music, whereas the same place can calm you down with its soothing and tranquil ambient sound and in some cases, absolute silence.

This soundtrack attempts to capture this truly odd place. The river, its dwindling wildlife and its people are inseparable in most ways. One needs to go through the incessant noise in the cities around the river to actually experience the calm that follows.

Put your headphones on as you travel from the heart of a noisy city and into the soul of the Ganges river.
