Dusk by the river in the Amazon rainforest - Jungle sounds
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Dawn and dusk in the Amazon rainforest are particularly lush when it comes to biophony, especially by a slow flowing river. The stark contrast between the beauty of birdsong and the shrill urgency of insect calls is never as evident.
The river itself acts as a border and connection for a myriad unseen worlds, a meeting point and boundary for the inhabitants of the rainforest. Contact calls, warning calls, begging calls, scolding calls, alarms - the language of wildlife ebbs and flows with the day/night cycle.
Tying all this together is geophony, the sounds made by slightly more philosophical wildlife - the rainforest itself. Wind in the trees, ripples in the water, branches breaking and falling with deep thuds, fog drip, rain in all its variety, fruit sploshing in the river - there's a rhythm to these too, albeit more subtle and on a different time scale.
On my expeditions to rainforests and other environments I've experienced countless moments like these - transitions from day to night and night to day - and I still find it incredibly exciting. I'm privileged to have had access to these magical places and I hope you can be transported there for a short while through these soundscapes.
Recorded at Las Piedras Amazon Centre in the Amazon rainforest with Sound Devices 633 and Sennheiser MKH8040/30 DMS rig. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:

Hey George, I went to look at this recording to buy but I'm confused as to what is on it. Is it this exact same recording as here on RUclips or is it many other things too? I'm hoping that there are at least hour long recordings of each area. Can you clarify, please? Thank you.
@@robinredbeard Hey Robin, no I'm not selling these long-form recordings unfortunately. they wouldn't be much use for sound designers. The sfx libraries I sell are made up of many short tracks, 5 to 10 minutes in length each.
@@GeorgeVlad Darn! I so enjoy the long-form recordings. I use them to fill my room in the day and they help me sleep at night. I was hoping by purchase I could put them on repeat and use surround sound. Thank you anyway. You're just the best nature recordist I know of. I'll just have to enjoy your recordings on RUclips. Do you have a nature recordist your respect you might recommend that sells quality surround long-form recordings?
@@robinredbeard not really, recordings that are available for sale are pretty short and only Stereo. The library I'm selling isn't bad for listening even if the recordings are 5 to 10 minutes long though, and it's not the same content I have up on YT. It's over 5 hours total so plenty of content.
@@robinredbeard I do the same. Set a timer to auto switch off around 2am when hopefully I’m asleep…. :)
Amazing
Thanks Liselot, great to hear that. If anyone knows what Las Piedras is about, that's definitely you :D
I know what I’m falling asleep to tonight! Looking forward to it George!
Enjoy!
@@GeorgeVlad It’s amazing as always!
@@juice2090 great to hear that!
once more... thnx (again)-4-sharing these perfect soundscapes!! - the whirled iz A better place-4-it \
My pleasure John, thanks for listening.
love this one
Me too, it's one of my favourite recordings from that trip.
really nice, lovely little surprises in the soundscape; beautiful!
Beautiful way to put it, thank you.
This one is one of my favorites to fall asleep to.
I miss falling asleep in the Amazon to this soundscape.
@@GeorgeVlad welcome back! I can only imagine. It must be amazing.
Sounds great! For a stereo mix, do you omit the rear mic in your DMS rig, or do you do some sort of surround->binaural downmix process?
Thanks Alex. I decode DMS recordings to Stereo or Surround using the Schoeps DMS plugin. The cool thing about it is I can rotate the audio field to find a good stereo balance if needed.
@@GeorgeVlad yeah - that Schoeps plug-in is great! I’ve used it quite a bit with Reaper and Waves NX for a binaural output.
1 hour of the regal natural sound. I will sleep well tonight. Thank you ❤️
Awesome, enjoy!
