2023.02.19 Quiet Dawn of Souls (First Light) by Hearing Beings published on 2023-02-28T12:05:28Z Listening in a very quiet environment, or at a very quiet time, preferably with good quality headphones, at no more than a moderate volume, is very much recommended. These sounds of late summer dawn in Mallee country were widely dispersed. The original recording level was 60 dB, with a further 12 dB gain in post. Listening at a low to moderate volume will more faithfully re-present the original soundscape experience. Please refer to the Playlist description for some background information: https://soundcloud.com/hearingbeings/sets/2023-02-19-quiet-dawn-of-souls-mallee-country-late-summer. At first light, the dawn songs of Spiny-cheeked Honeyeaters predominate, gracing the early dawn soundscape with a beautiful yet melancholy quality. Also occasional Owlet Nightjar calls (which have continued all through the night), Grey Butcherbirds, a couple of Emu 'drummings', some distant Ravens, amongst others; and, in the distance, briefly, a couple of strays that ought not to have been there at all. Throughout, the sound of the wind rising and falling, through Mallee woodland of Eucalyptus and Casuarina trees. Recorded respectfully on the land of the Meru and Danggali peoples.
