Cloud Forest by Wild Aesthesia

WA002 Cloud Forest features six soundscapes I made in the highlands of Southern Ethiopia over a two-week field recording trip. I had to travel for miles deep in the forest so I could get away from any man-made noise.

Cloud Forests are a type of rainforest that occurs at high altitude. The constant humidity and relatively cool temperature make this the perfect place for certain plants to grow. The best example is wild coffee, which I got to pick and taste myself while I was there.

This area is home to many endemic species like the Abyssinian Catbird and Ethiopian Oriole, both of which you can hear in the recordings. The overall soundscape is lush at times but more subtle than a true lowland rainforest.

Offered as uncompressed wav files for personal use. Get in touch with me if you need to license any of these recordings for commercial use: https://mindful-audio.com/contact
