So nice to hear nature instead of traffic!!!

@kenny-mozingo: I love the sound of bamboo flute - have mainly heard the basuri/bansuri from nepal. I'd love to hear how it sounds with the natural soundscape.

nice to hear you are enjoying them. Thanks for the comment.

so many voices in the backround! nice recording! Great image!

I appreciate the recording quality. I cannot imagine it being any better, so great definition and clarity, allows the birds and insects, etc to clearly tell their story in their own space...

an ecosystem of sounds, each voice speaking about the space they both need but also want to have....

I placed the microphones a few metres from a small stream in upland rainforest and left them to capture the dawn chorus. You can hear the raucous calls of Orange-footed Scrubfowl (one of Australia's three species of megapode or mound-builder) as well as the unusual wails of Spotted Catbird. Occasionally Northern Barred Frogs (Mixophyes schevilli)call from the leaf litter.

Although it is close to Sydney, Wollemi National Park protects an area of wilderness which is relatively unexplored. This is an early morning recording on a warm summer day.

The mountain rainforests of Far North Queensland provide habitat to a host of unique  species of animals & plants. This album captures the vibrant sounds of the montane cloud forest from before dawn until about mid-morning.

I set the microphones and recorder by a beautiful running stream at about 4am, the forest was nearly silent, not even the insects seemed to stir. Soon after, the frogs & birds gradually began to call as the sky began to lighten, and within a short time the forest was alive with the dawn chorus. The last 23 minute track on the album was recorded a little further along the stream, and closer to the water's edge. 

Sadly these forest are threatened by climate change. As average temperatures gradually rise, the insects, birds & other animals which depend on this cooler montane environment may be forced to move higher up the mountains. If this keeps up and the habitat keeps shrinking, the day may come when they will have no place to go.

I visited Sri Lanka's Sinharaja rainforest during the monsoon season with the hope of recording some of it’s unique wildlife, but the torrential rain forced me to spend most of my time sheltering inside a lodge! However on the final morning of my stay the rain eased for a few hours and I had a brief opportunity to record the sounds you hear on this album.

The Murrumbidgee is Australia’s second longest river, and is home to important eco-systems both above and below it’s flowing waters. Along the banks of the Murrumbidgee, forests of large River Red Gum trees are a haven for wildlife, and provide vital nesting hollows for numerous bird and mammal species.

This recording was made on the banks of the Murrumbidgee and captures the relaxing sounds of the river flowing to a backdrop of birdsong. Occasionally you can hear the rubbing of branches of a dead tree snagged in the water.

Tasmania's rainforests and old growth eucalypt forests have been subjects to decades of conflict between pro-logging groups and environmentalists. Thankfully, significant areas of these unique forests have been gazetted as World Heritage  sites and hopefully other areas such as the Tarkine wilderness will benefit from similar protection in the future.

This recording was made on the slopes of Mount Field National Park, and captures the sounds of some Tasmania's unique bird species.

A warm summer night along the Carson River in northern Nevada.  Cottonwoods whisper in the breeze as crickets and cicada stridulate and poorwills and distant screech owls and coyotes call.  A beaver climbs out of the stream, stumbles through the leaf litter and begins chewing on a log.  Use headphones to pick up the subtleties of this relaxing track.

Langtang National Park protects a significant area of the Nepal Himalaya, and due to the huge altitudinal range (almost 6500m) is home to an incredibly diverse range of plants and animals.

Early April is still quite cold at this elevation, and the first of the spring flowers had only just started to bloom. Several bird species remain in the mountains all year, while others migrate up from the lowlands to take advantage of the short himalayan summer in order to breed. This album is the result of several recordings made roughly between 2500m and 3500m in altitude, in a variety of different sub-alpine habitats.
