Selected highlights from 17 years of recording the sounds of birds and other animals. Whether it’s a thawing lake in the Canadian Arctic, a narrow plateau on a desert island in the Atlantic, the eaves of a house in a Spanish village or the roof of a yurt on the Mongolian steppes, these bird sound recordings will take you to places you’ve never been. Previously unpublished highlights from 17 years of travelling and collecting, with almost twice as many tracks on the accompanying USB.
On Friday 18th August the Sound Approach launched a new and unique product at the British Birdfair, Rutland. The Beauty of The Sound Approach is a vinyl LP, with extras; buyers also get a USB flashcard containing high resolution digital versions of the same tracks, plus a similar quantity of bonus ones. So, whatever side of the vinyl versus digital debate you are on, as long as you appreciate high quality recordings of birds and a couple of mammals there should be something to please you.
The Sound Approach collection now numbers over 61,000 recordings, of which we have only published a tiny minority. This new product gave us an opportunity to present some of our favourites that had never been released in any form. This time there was no need to illustrate a text; the only criteria for inclusion were novelty on the one hand, and beauty in any of its many forms on the other.
On the USB you will also find interviews that reveal how a number of the tracks were recorded. The cover art was provided by Killian Mullarney, while the booklet contains vignettes by Håkan Delin.
Listen to four preview tracks and two special interviews here.
