the first music----------???
Hi everyone!
It's Leo here!
I recorded the birds in the forest here in New Zealand at Dawn!! (first track on my site)
Many of these species are on the endangered list as Dairying and Forestry claim their habitat.
New Zealand had no predatory Mammals and the only wildlife before man arrived was birds
Now the native bird populations are dwindling and even the famous Kiwi is endangered.
The first music here is called "the Dawn Chorus" you won't hear 4/4 or 3/4 timing-----they just do their own thing!
you wil hear Tui, Bellbird, Fantail, Saddleback, Weka, but no Kiwi---they have already been killed in this forest!
thanks for listening

I really enjoyed that track, when I visited your page earlier today. I realise that it's a recording of nature in all it's musical glory, but there is something very beautiful in the way those birds were 'singing together'. It's a shame on man that he has impacted the world around him so adversely. Hopefully, your "Dawn Chorus" won't end up being a reminder of what once was.

thank you SRM!
Unfortunately---you are right---- in a few more years many of these sounds will be extinct----already many species here have been killed off by man ----the giant Moa--- The Native Eagle, The Huia (killed for the amazing feathers)
As more habitat is developed by agro -industry, it is inevitable that imported species like Blackbirds Thrushes and Sparrows will be dominant------they survive better around mankind!

Awesome Leo, thank you! Birds have always been my greatest teachers of music... call and response. As a sax player, it was birds I listened to more than the usual suspects. I love dem birdies... and those of you that capture them in song do us all a great service. -anju

Beautiful Leo - thank you!
We live in a fairly remote part of Wales and have the great joy and privilege of a lot of bird-life around our home. You can hear some of them on our song Roundton... in fact they are on quite a few of our songs because we sometimes record with the window open, but you do have to listen hard to spot them :)

Thank you for the replies
I wasn't sure whether to put this up---- but I'm happy about it now.
thank you to those who have added it to stations----Susan--we are thinking of doing some music around this --maybe some didgereedoo and classical guitar!

I really enjoyed that track Leo and was impressed with the clarity of the recording. No wind noise! - did you use a mike sock?
I do a bit of nature recording - use my old cassette portastudio with a cuppla PZMs . An Environment Shop in the city plays a CD of it as background and so does the local Hospice. So there is a niche market for this type of recording.
