This album is devoted to the sounds of southern India, and more precisely those of the Auroville forest near Pondicherry in Tamil Nadu. This field recording was made by audio naturalist Bernard Fort and documents the natural soundscapes in both day and night, respecting the chronology of the birdsongs and their length, together with the silences and contrasting dynamics. These soundscapes also feature the wind, the distant ocean and the sounds of the forest itself, often caused by the presence of little mammals both in tree branches and on the ground. Album Tracks 1. Indian Ocean 1 2. Morning in the Auroville Forest 3. Indian Ocean 2 4. Day's End in the Auroville Forest 5. Nocturne in the Auroville Forest
