Field Recording: Reed Frogs In The Delta

Into the Okavango

August 18 2015, 7:21 PM. Okavango Delta. These reed frogs remind me of Xenakis' "Concret PH", an emotionally important work for me (and early example of granular synthesis). They are also "siren frogs" for me, as they always sound really close but end up luring you away from the safety of camp. Recorded by Brian House (http://brianhouse.net, http://soundcloud.com/brianhouse) for the Okavango Wilderness Project.
