Island cd - music and nature sounds

The Island cd (1990) is an older cd that still sound good !

There are two pieces on the Island cd; one based on the sounds - and sights - of Phillip Island in southern Australia and the other based on the sounds from Arnhemland, in the north

Phillip Island :
is situated 120 km south of Melbourne, Australia.
Best known for its penguins and tourists, it still retains remnants of a unique natural ecosystem.
Areas still exist that are vibrant and full of diverse of sights and sounds
Koalas, ibis, wattle birds, geese, spoonbills, kangaroos, pelicans, parrots, sea cliffs, marshes, a great swamp, estuaries - plus the penguins - are all depicted here

Natural sound recordings are combined with musical impressions in this taking of a musical trip around the Island

Arnhemland :
is mostly based on the natural sound environment from this special place in northern Australia
Whistling kites, whistling ducks, frogs, brolga, plovers, crows, dingos, a great thunder storm heralds the 'wet' season ..

You may hear a 30 second snippet of all the tracks - just by clicking the (play) button; click it again to stop the track

From Sue, reviewer ..
‘Arnhemland’ is full of the most amazing atmospheric sounds, thunder storms - sound fantastic. Beautifully clearly recorded.
I think it’s magic music.
He’s made sound recordings of these places, taken them back and written music to fit them.. An amazing skill. It all fits beautifully.
It’s the sort of stuff to play when you want something atmospheric; play it to little children, it’s just wonderful.’
