EXTT0=DEVIL DANCE in the relative silence al the Australian Out
EXTT0=back with chants and the measure of time using sticks; al
EXTT0=l are warned of the dangers which lurk in the bush.\n
EXTT1=OUTBACK WILDFIRE snaps and hisses as thousands of acres o
EXTT1=f tropical hardwoods and grasses burn away the old, makin
EXTT1=g way for the new.\n
EXTT2=DAWN ACROSS the OUTBACK is the moment of onset when the s
EXTT2=un lies exactly six degrees below the Eastern horizon. He
EXTT2=ar the wallabies moving about in the dry leaves.\n
EXTT3=SONGBIRD SOLO is the performance of passion of a Willie W
EXTT3=agtail who sings for its mate.\n
EXTT4=In DOMAIN of the SEA EAGLE listen carefully for the bubbl
EXTT4=ing sounds of crocodiles. The Magpie Goose, because of th
EXTT4=e danger of crocodiles, perches in the treetops. It is as
EXTT4= difficult for these huge birds to land on a branch as it
EXTT4= is for a Boeing 747 to land on a helicopter pad, but the
EXTT4=y manage. The loud cry is the sea eagle, a magnificent bi
EXTT4=rd of prey, who observes all of the activity.\n
EXTT5=Next, we leave Australia for Hawaii in PACIFIC SURF. Huge
EXTT5= ocean swells roll onto a boulder beach at high tide.\n
EXTT6=The hydrologic cycle is developed further in the transiti
EXTT6=on to North America, with the fall of rain in NORTHWEST R
EXTT6=AIN.\n
EXTT7=The rain dissolves to the ANCIENT FOREST that it nurtures
EXTT7=, in this case a 4,000 year old forest of huge cedar tree
EXTT7=s. Among other birds, we hear the Winter Wren and the Pil
EXTT7=eated Woodpeckers reverberate in this original cathedral.

EXTT8=Then, THUNDER CLOUD begins with the careful balance betwe
EXTT8=en thundering sky and crickets.\n
EXTT9=The wind becomes WINDS ACROSS a CONTINENT.\n
EXTT10=The wind reaches an ASPEN GROVE on the side of a mountai
EXTT10=n.\n
EXTT11=South America is represented by AMAZON RAIN FOREST and t
EXTT11=he great diversity of life whose antiquity allows for es
EXTT11=tablished rhythms.\n
EXTT12=In RHYTHM RAIN we hear the sound around us.\n
EXTT13=TROPICAL STREAM drains the water from the soundstage.\n
EXTT14=SPANISH PINE WIND represents Europe where we find the ev
EXTT14=ening breeze very relaxing.\n
EXTT15=A wonderful transition to DESERT SOLITUDE at BUSHMAN FOU
EXTT15=NTAIN and the impulse calls of lizards at Bushman's Foun
EXTT15=tain.\n
EXTT16=This overtaken by the very DRY WIND.\n
EXTT17=INSECT SOLO where the ear piercing sound of an insect ac
EXTT17=tually changes pitch with the "life promising`~ flashes 
EXTT17=of lightning.\n
EXTT18=DESERT THUNDER delivers hardly more than a cupful of wat
EXTT18=er to the dry earth; the rains of the Kalahari often eva
EXTT18=porate before hitting the ground. But life in this harsh
EXTT18= environment has adapted to this treatment and somehow m
EXTT18=anages to survive. If the Kalahari is Hell, Sri Lanka is
EXTT18= Heaven. This enchanted island shrouded in mist produces
EXTT18= some of the best nature listening available, especially
EXTT18= at night.\n
EXTT19=MISTY ISLE is a collection of wood frogs in the cloud fo
EXTT19=rest.\n
EXTT20=ASLEEP is taken from the interior Sinharaja Rain Forest,
EXTT20= a World Heritage location of the United Nations.\n
EXTT21=TWILIGHT is also taken from the interior Sinharaja Rain 
EXTT21=Forest, a World Heritage location of the United Nations.

EXTT22=We have circled the globe when we reach RETURN to the PO
EXTT22=INT of ORIGIN.\n
EXTT23=We conclude with composer/performer Stuart Dempster's EA
