Riverine Symphonies: Sounds from the Ganges by Mayukh Dey published on 2018-03-31T12:02:11Z The Ganges floodplain is truly a place of contradictions. It is known to have the highest density of people in the world, yet, one can still find enigmatic animals like the Gharial, Ganges river dolphin and the smolth-coated otters. The region is also infamous for loud and deafening sounds produced by honking vehicles and explosive music, whereas the same place can calm you down with its soothing and tranquil ambient sound and in some cases, absolute silence. This soundtrack attempts to capture this truly odd place. The river, its dwindling wildlife and its people are inseparable in most ways. One needs to go through the incessant noise in the cities around the river to actually experience the calm that follows. Put your headphones on as you travel from the heart of a noisy city and into the soul of the Ganges river. Genre Ambient
