Just published three new albums recorded in the Amazon rainforest on my website. wildambience.com/albums/

Here's a sample from 'Cuyabeno Dawn' - put some headphones on and enjoy the sound of the rainforest awakening!

Air Bubbles and Limestone Breathing - earth.fm Surrounded by steep rocks and clear water, reminiscent of a mini calanque, I found a pocket beneath the rocky wall of Plage de la pointe d’Endoume, right behind where I like to have late lunch before…

New recording from sound artist and field recordist Gina Lo ✨

"Gentle waves break and flow into the gaps between the stones.
Listen to the air bubbles and limestone breathing, the marbled rock crab chirping, and the occasional pigeon flapping its wings and hooting."
