So you've discovered the Free Dowloads page. Here you'll find short sections of recorded material from some not-so-remote locations, and other "outtakes" from outdoor recording sessions. These recordings didn't get made into full-length retail soundtracks for relaxation and meditation because they contain excessive artificial background noise from traffic, airplanes, or other human activity, and may contain too much wind noise.
If you prefer to be immersed in the pure sounds of remote wilderness with no human interference, try our retail nature recordings. However, if you are someone who dislikes the feeling of complete isolation, or who doesn't mind being reminded of human society during meditation or relaxation, these free tracks may be perfect for you!
These tracks have received minimal editing and processing, if any, and are offered as small file-size MP3 files for quick downloading.
Busy Mountain Road and CicadasA hot summer afternoon in the Santa Ana Mountains of Southern California. This short recording was made next to a well-traveled road over the mountains. You'll hear cicadas, crows, other birds and insects, and plenty of traffic. Length: 9:17 |
 |
Early Spring Frogs in the SuburbsThis was the year's first emergence of frogs near a creek feeding into a suburban pond. Cars pass by frequently, along with the occasional airplane. Length: 8:31 |
|
River's EdgeThe birds of Spring and the sound of a flowing stream. There is some human activity along the banks, as well as planes flying overhead. Length: 7:12 |
|
Midnight at a PondA very interesting recording of the activity near a New England pond at midnight in the early Summer. You'll hear Gray Treefrogs, Green Frogs, some Bullfrogs, an owl or two, and some airplanes overhead. Length: 12:55 |
|
Chatty Morning BirdsYou'll hear all kinds of songbirds performing their mating and territorial songs in this Spring recording near a large pond fed by a trickling creek. Canada Geese also make their return back to the area and can be heard in the background. Propeller airplanes fly overhead, and traffic can be heard in the distance. Length: 13:57 |
|
Noisy TwilightThis was an attempt to capture that unique and remarkable time of the day when birds begin to go to sleep and frogs emerge for the night. You'll hear that transition happen in this recording, as songbirds and geese give way to Spring Peepers. An otherwise great soundtrack was tainted by motorcycles, airplanes, barking dogs, and even some gunfire from hunters! If you can relax to this, you can relax to anything. Length: 14:21 |
