SOUNDSCAPE: rainforest insect calls and Southern Tree Hyrax (Dendrohyrax arboreus) vocalizations


"And all around, that presence. The great forest. Immense and dark beyond imagination. With all its sounds, its rustlings, the calls of animals you never even knew existed. The placid voice of a river flowing not far away. And the fragrances of moss, of grass, of incense rising from smoking logs, of night scented flowers and of things that you have yet to know. You could melt away into that perfume and disappear..."
