Rain Forest

Actual Sounds of Nature: Rain Forest

cassette released in 1988

This is posted a day early in the nature/environmental sounds series that are usually posted on Sundays. Severe weather is expected in my area and there is a possibility of a power outage occurring.

This cassette is a part of The Art of Relaxation series which includes environmental/nature sounds as well as soft/mellow/new age music.

From the liner notes:

Under its lofty verdant canopy the tropical rain forest is alive with the sounds of an exotic world. Toucans, macaws and parrots squawk and whistle. Monkey's [sic] chatter in the treetops. The air is alive with the whirr of insects. And a warm rain falls, dripping from leaf to leaf until it splashes on the forest floor. It is such a realistic recording that you may find yourself forgetting where you are and reaching out to touch the trees. Whether you lose yourself in this rain forest for minutes or for hours, you will emerge to a clear and untroubled world.

Art of Relaxation actual sounds of nature are based on the psychology of sound. Whether played quietly in the background or at higher volume to fill the room, they are thoroughly convincing and extremely effective. Hundreds of thousands of people have used these tapes to help them relax, meditate and concentrate. They have been used to alleviate insomnia, to enhance love-making, and to create a mood in which reading, studying or working are greatly facilitated.
