SD29 17-Year Cicadas

SD29 17-Year CicadasDESCRIPTION: In 17 Year Cicadas, get a large collection of rare swarming insects. Hear visceral screeches and crackling wing flutters. Hear electric clicks and massive walls of swelling sound. Hear long ambiences of morning songbirds singing in counterpoint with droning cicadas and isolated screeches so close you can feel their ultrasonic energy. This library offers you the sounds of the natural wonder of Brood X. These 17 year cicadas won't be heard

In addition to this glacier "rain"

and the Sitka tree’s shape informed the composition’s structure

and living ice

Hear Pacific Wrens joyous chirps as they dance on rotten logs

In these storms

Common Loons are beautiful birds with evocative calls that sing across the boreal lakes of North America and Iceland

for a few sessions I chose to record for longer durations at 48 kHz in order to capture more rare calving events

But I wanted to record from out in the middle of the lake

Guttural groans

Energetic twittering songbirds

echoey caws from ravens so close you can hear the details in their wings flaps

Non-periodic undulating drones
