EXTT0=The sound of the Amazon is unmistakably that of a tropica
EXTT0=l rain forest. The strong sunlight and ample, life-giving
EXTT0= water provide both the energy and the means for the loud
EXTT0=est of quiet places. The many diverse sounds speak of an 
EXTT0=ancient ecosystem with many species. Perhaps nowhere else
EXTT0= in the world is nature's symphony so complex, so refined
EXTT0= and so well rehearsed. Sun, water and time are the forma
EXTT0=tive elements of the audio program.\n\nResonant thunder a
EXTT0=nd approaching rains deliver a raw ingredient of life in 
EXTT0=the jungle. Notice the reverberant space: the conditions 
EXTT0=are ideal and sound travels easily. We can hear the shado

EXTT0=y, it may take days for it to reach the forest floor.\n
EXTT1=Inside the forest amphitheater a single drop falls many t
EXTT1=imes... from leaf to leaf. As it does, the countless voic
EXTT1=es of tree frogs create a sonar type image of the space. 
EXTT1=This is the setting for our discovery of time in the chan
EXTT1=ging voice of a tropical stream. During the course of a s
EXTT1=ingle day deep inside the Amazon rain forest, I sat down 
EXTT1=beside a crystal-clear stream. I watched the fine, white 
EXTT1=sand on the streambed move a grain at a time while the st
EXTT1=reamlets braided together.\n
EXTT2=As I drank, it appeared to me that I was inside a kind of
EXTT2= hour glass. In fact, as I learned, it is possible to kno
EXTT2=w the time of day within several minutes by the combinati
EXTT2=on of sounds in the jungle. Notice that the time appears 
EXTT2=to change more quickly at the beginning and the end of th
EXTT2=e day. This, of course, corresponds directly with the pos
EXTT2=ition of the sun and the change of command from daylife t
