Rainforest sounds - Thunderstorm approaching in Central Africa

On the border between R Congo and Gabon there is an impressive expanse of wild savanna rainforest. The patches of trees create small shaded havens for wildlife, but they don't completely obstruct the soundscape as ancient rainforests will do. You can hear birdsong and insect calls from quite far away. When you add loud sources like thunder to the mix, you can clearly get a sense for the space in which this recording was captured.

This nature, wildlife and weather soundscape evolves over the two hours of the recording, from distant thunder rumbling to a couple of rain showers and then calmer ambience with birdsong and insects. Soft wind picks up here and there but it stops soon thereafter. More importantly, there is no man-made sound that reaches the microphone. This is almost unheard of in the "developed" world where distant road/air traffic, city noise, industry sounds are a mainstay wherever you would go. Recorded with Sennheiser DMS and Sound Devices 633 in 2018. Enjoying the videos I upload on here? Feel free to support me by:
