Nature Sounds to Help Save Earth’s Climate

PUZZLE LAKE PARADISE - Grant Mackay

Far from the noise of cities, towns and busy highways, there is a very quiet place. To get there you need to journey far for several kilometers down a lonely road, past farms and abandoned homesteads of a bygone frontier era, to finally arrive in a hidden enclave of deep wilderness. Here nature is, as it been for thousands of years – pristine and undisturbed. To capture the beauty of the natural sounds on “Puzzle Lake Paradise”, field recordist Grant Mackay, made several early morning and evening trips into the park during the springtime.

NIGHTSCAPES: Midnight Sounds From The Wild - PAUL LaChapelle

As a cloak of evening darkness gradually descends, the natural world awakens with a chorus of nocturnal wildlife. Recorded in Massasauga Provincial Park and other remote locations, this Sounds of the Wilderness CDr employs innovative recording techniques, such as the capture of sounds from a slowly moving canoe. This immersive effect, developed by engineer Paul LaChapelle, gives the listener a 3D sound experience of actually being in the wilderness.

THE FOREST MARSH - Grant Mackay

The location for this recording was discovered entirely by accident. While driving the “dangerous and unmaintained" roads of Northumberland County in my 4WD, I came upon a forest marsh deep in a hidden valley, among the rolling, pastoral, farmland hills. Not far from my country home in the village of Camborne, I was immediately struck by how such a wild place could be so close and yet be within our midst. Shortly after discovering this place I returned to record the sounds of birdsongs and bullfrogs of “The Forest Marsh” awakening at dawn. This real-time recording captures the closest experience to actually being there.

LAKESIDE SAVANNAH - Grant Mackay

LAKESIDE SAVANNAH captures the day and nighttime bird and wildlife sounds of the different environments from the Point Petre Nature Preserve. This remote wilderness is located on the southernmost tip of the island of Prince Edward County, Ontario, Canada. Hear the wave sounds from the limestone rock shores on its western reaches; to the midnight sounds of crickets, peeper frogs and aquatic birds of its interior blue heron rookery; to the sounds of kingfishers, terns and seagulls who inhabit the southern shores of its gull bar. This debut album by composer, sound designer and field recordist, Grant Mackay is a tour-de-force of wilderness audio realism!
