about

Originally released on CD and cassette in 1998. This edition remastered to the original sample-rate of 48k @ 24bit in 2022.

An album that moves from melodious bird song ambiences in spring in spacious, open acoustics to more gothic moods of autumn and winter. Including a May dawn chorus, sessile oakwood scenes with pied flycatcher and wood warbler, northern birchwood with redstart and willow warbler, the hum of insects and passing bird calls in late summer, rutting red deer stags on a stormy October evening and tawny owls on a frosty winter night.

And I’ve just realised that these recordings are all from woods north of Hadrian’s Wall or west of Offa’s Dyke on mainland Britain. Which probably reflects this recordist’s home range and core interest at the time.
