DESCRIPTION:
- In Redwoods: Active Nature, get a collection of the energetic ambiences from a Redwood grove that been growing for over 1000 years. Hear the resounding sound of these wooden cathedrals as the wildlife sings in their space. Hear playful ravens energetic calls and whooshing flybys. Hear the sweet singing of owl duets and whooshing branchfalls that sound like sci-fi lasers. Hear ancient wood creaking and the massive sound of deer battling in the understory. Hear soundscapes from the tops of the trees in the world...because I actually climbed a Redwood to record!
- This library is packed full of tracks with vibrant flora and fauna from the lively spring landscapes of Northern California. Hear the sounds of this stunning natural cathedral from canopy perspectives that have never been recorded before. Thanks for listening.
