Beautiful and warm summer morning in the garden. The sun warms and inspires birds to sing.

Summer Morning in the Garden

3 minute audio sample from the 80 minute nature soundscape; "Cloudforest - Malaysia", available for download from www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=120

A chain of rainforested hills run the length of peninsular Malaysia. Mists drift through these mountain forests, condensing and nourishing an abundance of epiphytes, mosses and ferns.

In the pre-dawn, a chorus of piping frogs and nocturnal insects gently fills the humid air. With first light, the wonderful diversity of birdlife found here begins to awake. Babblers chatter animatedly, and the whooping of Cuckoo Doves echo through the trees. One of the standout species of the forest is heard, the unusual buzzing call of a Fire-tufted Barbet.

A flock of Silver-eared Mesias pass by with much scolding and sweet singing, and the electric cries of a pair of Yellownapes carry through the treetops.

For all the tropical diversity, this recording is actually very easy on the ear. There is an organic pace to the changing soundscape; sounds ebbing and flowing gradually as the morning progresses.

'Cloudforest - Malaysia' - Album sample

I'm excited to share that my new ambient album “Ocoyo” is out on Desert Trax today, which is a tribute to the incredible bio diversity of the jungles of Guatemala and rainforest of Ecuador, and the teachings I've received from various lineages. Through this music, I aim to express my deep appreciation for the natural beauty of our planet. This album is dedicated to Delfin & Cesario Piaguaje of the Siekopai tribe, true masters of the Amazon, who have blessed me with their wisdom in the Maloka. The essence of the lotus, the rose, as well as other plants and fungi, have been woven into the fabric of each track on this album. I am grateful for the wisdom and guidance of these allies, and for their assistance in the creation of this music. I am continually in awe of the incredible power and knowledge that can be found within the plant kingdom. 

All tracks produced and mixed by Iyakuh.

Iyakuh - Ocoyo Album (( Journey Mix ))

Australia's tropical rainforests are a global biodiversity hotspot, providing vital habitat for a staggering variety of wildlife, including many unique, endemic species. 

This recording was made at dawn one morning near Lake Eacham, on the Atherton Tablelands. The lush rainforest was filled with sounds of birds  including  Superb & Wompoo Fruit-Doves, Brown Cuckoo-Dove, Golden Whistler, Eastern Whipbird, Spotted Catbird, Bower's Shrikethrush, Brown Gerygone, Grey-headed Robin, Double-eyed Fig Parrot, Bridled & Lewin's Honeyeaters and more....

A morning soundscape from the dry savanna woodlands of central Cape York, northern Australia. The fluty yodelling of a family of Black-backed Butcherbirds fills the warm morning air, along with the calls of Little Friarbird, Spangled Drongo, Grey-crowned Babbler, White-throated Gerygone, Rainbow Lorikeet, Magpie Lark, Peaceful & Bar-shouldered Doves and many other bird species.

Recorded on the Harvest Full Moon 9 . 14 . 19 as way for me to reflect deeper on the past year and open doorways to new projects I have been bringing into the light.

Heavily inspired by my travels to the Rainforest of Ecuador // My time spent on Lake Atitlan // Winter Solstice in the jungles and temples of Tikal in Guatemala // Exploring the ruins of Copan in Honduras, & a journey to Lake Santeelah in the Nantahala National Forest.

This month's episode focuses on Panama, a country diverse in rich wildlife, biodiversity and mixed culture.

I became fascinated with the somewhat electric energy of its musical traditions, ranging from salsa to reggae, jazz, cambia, pastille and tamborito. A country first influenced by the indigenous populations of Kunas, Teribes, Ngobe Bugle and others, then by the black population who were brought over, first as slaves from Africa, between the 16th century and the 19th century, and then voluntarily (especially from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Martinique, Guadeloupe, Dominica, Saint Lucia) to work on the Panamanian Railroad and Canal projects between the 1840s and 1914.

This lead to a diverse culture and sound.
Here is my take on what I found when digging through the musical history books of Panama.
