Recordings in this collection can be played by anyone.
This collection of unpublished field recordings brings together the sounds of common environmental phenomena that occur in the lower reaches of the Earth’s atmosphere.
From rainfall at a Mayan archaeological site to thunder over the Andaman Sea, these recordings capture both the natural processes themselves and the effects they have on surrounding objects. All have been selected from a growing body of environmental sound recordings archived at the British Library.
Publication of this collection was supported, in part, by funds from the Wildlife Sound Trust (UK Registered Charity 295776).
