Australian composer and soundscapist David Lumsdaine, now living in York, has a number of contemporary classical albums, but I knew him first as an excellent soundscapist. A man of many talents, he also founded and directed the Electronic Music Studio in Durham U.K., and taught at Leeds College in London. On this CD a wide variety of wildlife -- exotic birds seemingly unique to New South Wales, frogs, crickets, other insects - were recorded at sunrise, sunset, midnight and the hours in between. It includes 10 tracks which basically play continuously, and these soundscapes have a really strong sense of place. No place else on earth sounds like this!
