Is it the quiet cousin to the rambunctious shore? The analogue counterpoint to our digital cities? Both? Something else entirely? Decide for yourself. Or better yet, just relax and enjoy. Mixing recordings from nearby parks, distant rainforests and everything in between, here’s what it sounds like under the canopy. Our editors update selections here regularly, so if you hear something you like, please add it to your library. And remember: None of this is forever, so enjoy it while you can.
