THE FOREST MARSH
The location for this recording was discovered entirely by accident. While driving the “dangerous and unmaintained" roads of Northumberland County in my 4WD, I came upon a forest marsh deep in a hidden valley, among the rolling, pastoral, farmland hills. Not far from my country home in the village of Camborne, I was immediately struck by how such a wild place could be so close and yet be within our midst. Shortly after discovering this place I returned to record the sounds of birdsongs and bullfrogs of “The Forest Marsh” awakening at dawn. -Grant Mackay

This real-time recording captures the closest experience to actually being there.
