New on the sound map! 🐸 🗺️ This composition is built entirely from the sounds of blacksmith tree frogs in Brazil, and imagines their calls as illuminating the night as if it were silent, and the frogs were painting the sky like a canvas. Full piece: audioboom.com/posts/865215...

That's gone quick! Delighted to be a part of this project, I used a Bowhead whale sound and created a track titled 'Balaena mysticetus'. I used the whole recording with subtle effects and orchestration to highlight the Bowhead's vocalisation and reflect it's a giant and majestic animal.

🚦🎧 How do you turn the simple clicking of a pedestrian crossing into an epic full-band composition? Listen to this incredible piece from Matsya, who have transformed a set of traffic lights in Athens, Greece, using the metronomic pulse of the crossing as the rhythmic backbone of their track.
