The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are a group of lush tropical islands located in a very remote part of the Indo-Pacific region. The archipelago consists of a total of 571 islands, out of which just 37 are inhabited mostly by the mainland Indians who came here in the mid-20th century. Before that the islands remained completely untouched with the only inhabitants being isolated tribal communities residing in the jungles, all of whom expressed hostility towards unfamiliar individuals from the outside world. Capturing the sounds of these islands was not an easy task and presented unique challenges such as sheer remoteness, restricted movements, and the banned areas of isolated tribes.

Featuring:

  • Tropical Rainforests: Diverse and rich tropical ambiences and endemic birdsongs captured in many locations on different islands during dawn, morning, daytime, afternoon, dusk, and night.
  • Ocean: From powerful ocean to soft waves hitting the rocks or mangroves, the variety of sea sounds differs significantly.
  • Mangroves: Sounds of mangrove mud popping to diverse and unique birds. The navigation and recording here were quite intense due to the presence of many crocodiles in these locations with an extensive record of attacks on people.
  • Monsoon rain: As the monsoon begins, the rain becomes a daily occurrence, yet as quickly as it arrives, it also departs, the sun returns, and the jungle springs to life. After weeks of going around the jungle and positioning the mic gear, numerous successful recordings were made.
  • Endemic species: Andaman Woodpecker, Andaman Wood Pigeon, Andaman Cuckoo Dove, Andaman Drongo, Andaman Boobook
  • Raw quality: Soundtracks are uncut, kept in the raw yet quality sound, and edited with minimal basic EQ
