3 minute audio sample from the 66 minute nature soundscape; "Dawnsong of Tuis", available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=123

The Tui (pronounce "too-ee"), a native honeyeater of New Zealand, has one of the most extraordinary voices of the bird world.

Their vocabularies consist of fluting and ringing bell-like tones, wheezy whistles, buzzes, clucks and ultrasonics almost too high for the human ear.

This recording will take you to the majestic old-growth forest of Whirinake, to hear a sublimely musical chorus of Tuis singing in the hour before dawn.

As I stood in the darkness that morning, under ancient tree ferns, hearing those first Tuis begin calling, I knew it would be a special recording. It was one of those moments that I hope to hear; when nature creates pure beauty. I feel this album is a meditation on the beauty of the natural world.

Experience the mountain rainforest of Papua New Guinea’s remote Huon peninsula.

It is dark, before dawn. Insects chime and tiny frogs call from hidden places on the forest floor. As the light pales, the first birds begin singing. Prominent among them is the Regent Whistler, ruling the dawn chorus with whipcrack calls that echo through the trees. A soft chorus of cicadas begin fizzing intermittently, as more songbirds join in.  

Over the next hour there is a gradual transition from nocturnal voices to daytime birdsong. Once the dawn chorus ebbs, birds and insects are heard discreetly. For such a rich environment, there are periods of relative quiet. However rare denizens of these mountain rainforests make themselves heard, including ground-dwelling rails and scrub fowl. Meanwhile the various songs of exotic fantails, ifrits, robins, jewel babblers, meladectes and melampitas come and go, while fruit pigeons keep up a soft booming from the treetops.

This album is one continuous recording, allowing you to hear this precious forest environment as it is.

Papuan Dawn

Papuan Dawn: Album Sample

I was searching my vault for oldies, and came across a bunch of music attempts that I did in the late nineties. By this time, I was starting to think about making music much more seriously, but only had like a PC and a Yamaha DB50-XG soundcard. By this time David Arkenstone, Loreena Mckennitt, among several others had great influence on my music creation endeavors.
Hope you like this tribute, which is a mix between a cover of 'Courtyard Lullaby' and my original music (1998).
