In 2013 he spent two weeks exploring and recording the different ecosystems found within Colombia\u2019s Orinoquia Natural Region \u2013 savannah, gallery forests and wetlands. Focusing on the Meta department, Franco recorded the natural sounds of this vast landscape from dawn to dusk and on into the night. The end result is a compilation of seven soundscapes that allow us to get a sense of the habitats visited and species encountered. An additional recording, made in Tuparro National Natural Park two years earlier, complements the set.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So many wonderful sounds are experienced when listening to Franco\u2019s selection. Alien to my ears, these unknown voices fill me with curiosity. What species is making that sound? Is it a bird, or maybe an amphibian? Some species have been identified \u2013 the notes tell us that we are hearing the calls of Tufted Capuchins and Red Howler Monkeys for example \u2013 and I think this is an important addition. This information reminds us that these are not just \u201cexotic\u201d noises that sound nice but are the voices of living, breathing animals that vocalise for a reason, just like we do, and are essential to the correct functioning of that habitat.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Jos\u00e9 Ricardo Delgado Franco is a field recordist with obvious talent. \u2018Sound Atmospheres of the Colombian Orinoquia\u2019 introduces the listener to the many sounds of this region, giving us a glimpse into Colombia\u2019s rich biodiversity and reminding us of the need to preserve this unspoilt land. <\/p>\n

\nThis material was recorded in different tropical ecosystems of the Colombian Orinoquia (this region is a big savannah furrowed of rivers) in the sunrises, the sundown and the night during two weeks in April 2013 in the Meta department and complemented with one recording of the 2011 in the Tuparro Natural Park.<\/p>\n
\nThe recordings were made in natural ecosystems without acoustic pollution. The phonographic materials were intervened the less possible, with the objective that the field recordings\u00a0 express some of the corporal experience.<\/p>\n

\nFor somebody like me, who has never ventured outside of Europe before, the opportunity to sit back and listen to the sounds of tropical ecosystems is always something I relish. So when I saw that our friends over at Gruenrekorder were releasing a selection of Colombian soundscapes, I just had to take this one on.<\/p>\n
