Rise & Shine!

Our human ancestors have, for generation after generation, woken with the birds. We live in the 21st century, however our senses are still waiting for the birds to sing us awake. But now we've replaced them with alarm clocks.

These albums bring you the natural sounds of the morning. You'll hear the rhythms of life waking gently; birds, frogs and insects doing what they do to get the day going naturally.

Our listeners have told us of how they play these recordings quietly in their home each new day, or load them on their smart phones or tablets as nature's wake up call. You may just find that you're able to throw your alarm clock out the window.
