about

This recording has ten soundscapes depicting the unique time between the end of April and early May. At that time, the lakes in Lakeland Finland are still frozen, but there is melted water in the region’s many rivers, brooks and streams where there are flowing currents. It is also the time when the region experiences the migration of waders, ducks, swans and geese (Anseriformes). The migrating birds gather around the melted waters to feed and rest. All of these soundscapes were recorded around these pools of melted water in the region of North Savo. As far as I am aware, this is the first time that these unique natural phenomena have been recorded. The soundscapes were captured by hiding the recording equipment in the vicinity of these pools. This is the only way that one can record even these very timid birds.

The Friends of Kuopio Nature (Kuopion Luonnon Ystäväin Yhdistys r.y.) have provided a stipend to assist in this recording’s release; without this financial assistance, this CD would not have seen the light of day. In addition, I express my gratitude to the many experts who have helped in its production and for the technical help during the recording, help with the artwork, etc. Special thanks to my wife Maarit for her support and encouragement.
