Experience the future of nature audio, with 19 of the world's premier nature sound recordists and soundscape producers as your guides. This specially-priced 2 CD set features career highlights from sound artists who are expanding the field of "nature sounds" as we've known it, forging a new creative medium that's primed for emergence into public consciousness. The accompanying 48-page booklet offers reflections from the artists, essays on soundscapes, and detailed track notes, creating a context for deeper enjoyment. Disc One is a real ear-opener, featuring surprising and engaging natural soundscapes, two excursions into urban soundings, and a taste of composing with transformed field recordings. Disc Two is more subtle, asking the listener to enter into a state of "deep listening." It features longer cuts, arranged as a day cycle, from pre-dawn to the middle of the night, with each voicing of the planet being long enough to begin to cast its own particular spell. Here, you'll get a taste of the deeper purposes behind the work of this group of extraordinary listener/composers. The Dreams of Gaia's 48-page booklet of notes, including narrative descriptions of the tracks, is included with the CD's.
