Volume Twelve: Listen to the Loons CD

The Listen to the Loons CD by Dan Gibson’s Solitudes brings you an album devoted to the appreciation of the loon and to its preservation.  It is a story, told through nature sounds alone, of this most fascinating bird and its environment.

The legend of the loon grows with each haunting cry, and it will remain eternally captivating. The bird's classic colors and sleek lines ignite our minds to the image of a sudden dive into the dark depths of a northern lake - resurfacing, the sun glistens on a herring trapped between the loon's beak. Yet even more enduring in our minds, than this image, are the powerfully passionate calls of the loon. Whether calm or aggressive, repeated or isolated, the sounds provoke the listener to derive an understanding. As a result, the loon has become a symbol of our northern wilderness, without which all our memories would be incomplete, and certainly less significant.

So simply ease back, listen to the authentic loon sounds and share in the appreciation of this glorious species with the unmistakable quality of these original digital recordings.

The Listen to the Loons CD is part of Solitudes' environmental sound experiences. This series, which is recorded in digital and stereo sound, presents natural sounds with the most delicate clarity. The result is an atmosphere of tranquility and relaxation, yet with a sense of adventure. This is not accomplished through storytelling but from the freedom that these recordings bestow on the memory and imagination of the listener. The many wildlife species, and the world in which they live, are waiting to be discovered within Solitudes.
