Excerpt of a 12 minute track ' Song of the Lyrebird' from the recently released album "Bellbird Forest" https://wildambience.com/albums/bellbird-forest/

This track contains some superb examples of mimicry including the imitation of Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo, Green Catbird, Satin Bowerbird, Grey Butcherbird and numerous other bird species. In fact, in this excerpt alone at least 10 species are mimicked.

Night in the rainforest

It is late summer in the Finger Lakes Region of upstate New York. As night unfolds, crickets trill, their songs mesmerizing and tranquil. Then, without warning, Coyotes howl and yip, their reverberant echos reaching out in all directions. Exhilarating, intoxicating wild music, flowing deeply into the recesses of our minds.

NOTE: This is a 3-D binaural recording. Please wear headphones for a realistic spatial listening experience that wil make you think you're actually outdoors, immersed in the natural world. 

OF FUTHER NOTE: I recorded the coyotes one night in mid-July in a forested area in upstate New York. There was very little background sound, so I returned three weeks later to same spot to record crickets trilling gently. I then added the cricket chorus to the coyote track to provide a more relaxing and meditative background. Also ... long silent intervals between three different outbursts have been drastically shortened.

Wild Burros of Picacho (with Coyote Finale)

An excerpt from a 4 hour recording which, for the most part, captured Taman Negara's gentle nocturnal soundscape . However on this excerpt the peaceful twinkling of insects & cooing of frogs is interrupted by alarm calls from a Spectacled Langur high in the canopy. Without good nocturnal vision, perhaps the langurs could smell a predator, or hear it's footsteps on the forest floor below. 

I remember waking up in our tent hearing these langurs at about 4:30am, and when we emerged from the tent at sunrise, the distinctive pugmarks of a Leopard were left in the sand only inches from where I slept. Perhaps it was attracted to my pig-like snoring?!

The call of the huge Helmeted Hornbill is almost as amazing as it's appearance . About 5ft in length including the long tail, these large hornbills mainly eat fruits in the rainforest canopy. 

The call in it's entirety is sometimes up to 5 minutes long, a gradually accelerating series of notes ending in a maniacal cackle.

Mallee Dawn

Album: Mallee Dawn - Recorded in Wyperfeld National Park, Victoria, Australia

The sound recorded was for a project around the flamingos of the Yucatan. I arrived at this location to record surround sound of an estuary that was located inland. There was a tower about 50 ft. high that I climbed to record the sounds of the birds as they were waking up for the day. I was in the tower by 4:30am and recorded for the next five hours. This is as the sun was just coming up and the birds were calling out in waves of strange noises. Some of which did not sound like birds and the guide that was with me could not name. It was quite the experience. I was in the Yucatan for a period of two weeks and during that time was able to record in many different areas and of course I spent a lot of time with the flamingos. I recorded using a Sound Devices 664 mixer/recorder and at times used a Sound Devices 663. Most of the recordings were done using a Schoeps Stereo set up and a surround sound Holophone.

April 20, 2019. The recording begins at 7.37 in the morning. I really like diversity of birds in Matsalu but recording is somewhat difficult because there are no natural obstacles (thick forest or mountains) to preventing noise from the roads. It's not technically pure clean recording. It's a sketch, the groundwork, note in my audio notebook.
