Post Description

Recorded in Costa Rica and assembled at San Francisco"s Earwax Productions, "Natural Sounds of Costa Rica" has garnered widespread praise among the sound community. Currently in its 7th printing (with over 10,000 sold), and available at over 250 locations throughout Costa Rica, the CD has been singled out by the likes of those at Dolby Laboratories and Fantasy Studios as one of the finest nature recordings done to date.

The disc"s highlights include the fascinating Montezuma Oropendola, a symphony of frogs in chorus, the growls of howler monkeys in the rain, and the violent eruptions of the Arenal Volcano. The quality and depth of these recordings are of such high caliber that they have been used for other projects as diverse as theme park installations (Disneyland), sci-fi Hollywood blockbusters (Super Nova), educational projects (National Geographic), and television documentaries (The History Channel).

Conceived of as a sampler of Costa Rican soundscapes, the project became much more as its producers began piecing together the material. From the first stalagmite reverberation, it"s clear this is not your typical nature CD.
