Timberwolf in the Tall Pines

Timberwolf in the Tall Pines

released in 1990

To hear a Timberwolf howling in its native environment is an event. What in their terms is a simple social gathering among pack members or an expression of territorial boundaries is most often perceived by us as a chilling signature of a desolate wilderness. As we become more familiar and understanding of our wildlife, the cry of the Timberwolf will no longer strike fear within us, but fill us with a sense of community.

This recording was conceived to both entertain and educate. Therefore, in an effort to create a realistic experience of the Timberwolf in its natural setting, the howling on this disc is sporadic. As I found during the extensive period of gathering the sounds of nature on this disc, these voicings do not always happen when we want them to. And so when you hear the voicings of the Timberwolf and other native wildlife on this disc, it will hopefully occur with a sense of surprise, much like it would in nature.

For those of you who wish to experience firsthand the cry of the Timberwolf, you will increase your chances greatly by closely studying the howling on this release, and by mimicking a howl in an area of nature that is known to be inhabited by Timberwolves. With patience, persistence, and reasonable "howling" skills, you are sure to eventually experience communication with these fascinating creatures. I assure you that it will be an experience that you will not soon forget. (Brian Wright)
