专辑简介

What do you get when you pair internationally-recognized audio/naturalist Bernie Krause with award-winning jazz keyboardist and composer Phil Aaberg? Pass around the eggnog, enter the studio, and voila!... A WILD CHRISTMAS. This very special holiday recording is composed entirely of animal and ambient sounds recorded around the world. Some of these sounds you'll recognize as being the natural creature voices themselves. Others may sound like traditional instruments, but they are digitally transformed into magical performance. For example, some dolphin voices lengthen to sound like violins, humpback whale and walrus voices are the bass, crickets become cymbals, bats and frogs become sleigh bells. And a Central American rainforest bird, the common potoo, is a Diva, singing beautifully with flutelike voice in 'Amazing Grace'. The woodland, rainforest, and ocean habitats diminish, but the wonder of animal voices continues to delight and enrich our lives. Enjoy a truly unique celebration of both the wild kingdom and holiday spirit - all rolled into one.
