Douglas Quin
Caratinga

Douglas Quin's exquisite soundscape recordings, including birdcalls and the sounds of various animals, from the Caratinga Biological Station in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest. Described as a "magical forest", it is small in area, yet large in importance since it contains some of the rarest species on earth. Yet more compelling, less than ten percent of Brazil's original Atlantic Rainforest remains, making this a recording of ecological as well as musical importance.

The recordings here were made during a period of a few weeks in July, 1991. The tracks are arranged on this CD to follow the course of a day from dawn to dusk, starting with a stream at dawn, and continuing with Brown Howler Monkeys, Black-capped Capuchin Monkeys, White-bearded Manakin bird, Buffy-headed Marmosets, Northern Muriqui (Woolly Spider Mondey), an afternoon storm, and tree- and ground-frogs in the evenings.

Here are some examples of the sounds:


Stream at Dawn


Muriqui (Woolly Spider Monkey)


Yellow Toads at Night
