Planet Earth and polyphonic gibbons
June 20, 2007As I watched the ‘Jungles’ segment of ‘Planet Earth’ the other night, the sound of the chimps in the fig trees reminded me of Matija Gogala’s Bioacoustics and Music pages.
He’s a retired professor of animal physiology in Slovenia, and his site features sounds from cicadas, birds (and cicadas that sing like birds) and gibbons.
The recording of two gibbons demonstrating glissando is a wonder.
