This discovery was made by the eco-acoustician Bernie Krause in the 1970s. And if individual animals do communicate in the same frequency bands, they are active in different time windows. This means that the auditory spectrum of the rainforest is structured into precisely defined frequency bands within which animals of individual species communicate to each other and thus the frequencies of their sounds practically do not overlap or interfere. And yet, the rainforest soundscape is highly organized: The hearable animals each have their acoustic niche in which they communicate, mark their territory, warn of enemies, attract sexual partners. Because the biodiversity of audible animals is extremely high, the tropical soundscape is structured much more densely and intensively than in temperate forests. One essential aspect distinguishes the soundscape of the Amazon rainforest from European forests. Beyond that, Manser’s idea is to be extended to the non-human inhabitants of the rainforest by integrating their voices as well – that is why we call our radio an interspecies community broadcast. This is to be taken up in our radio project insofar as we seek for the participation of artists, scientists and indigenous communities living or working in the Brazilian Amazon regions to contribute to a radio program that we will set up as an auditive network of (indigenous, artistic and scientific) knowledge concerned with the Amazon rainforest and its threats. In addition to his own descriptions, he mainly let the voices of the forest – statements and reports from the indigenous population of the Penan, as well as scientists and journalists – have their say.
In “Stimmen aus dem Regenwald” (Voices from the Rainforest) from 1992, he pointed out for the first time the threat to the rainforests of Borneo through deforestation. Vozes da floresta as a radio program is inspired by the first book by Swiss environmental activist Bruno Manser. These recordings are automatically crossfaded without gaps in the web radio – creating a continuous flow consisting of the diurnal cycles and seasonal changes in the soundscape of the forest. Three automated audio recording devices distributed throughout the forest recorded 20 seconds of the rainforest soundscape at ten-minute intervals. The stream is generated from interval audio recordings made in 2018/2019 at the LBA/AmazonFace research station of the National Institute for Research on the Amazon INPA. It was titled "Murder by the Sea," and aired on December 26, 1954.īret Morrison and Grace Matthews recorded two final episodes for a special record released in 1968.Vozes da floresta/Voices of the forest consists of a stream of the soundscape of the Central Amazon rainforest. The first show, starring Orson Welles, was titled "The Death House Rescue." The last radio program had Bret Morrison portraying the mysterious sleuth. On September 26, 1937, Street & Smith gave The Shadow a central role, and a long-time radio residence, on the Mutual Broadcasting System network.
However, they too were dropped from the airwaves. The Shadow came back to the airwaves to narrate other crime programs, such as, " Blue Coal Mystery Revue and a handful of his own short lived shows in 19. Though the program was canceled after 52 episodes, The Shadow became an immediate hit with the listening audience and continued on with his own magazine. The mysterious narrator claimed " The Shadow knows all" and then announced the story from the current issue of the crime magazine with a menacing laugh. On July 31, 1930, a sinister voice introduced " The Detective Story Magazine Hour," a weekly radio program that dramatized stories from the pages of Street & Smith's Detective Story Magazine.
The third radio show named "The Shadow" premiered on Septemand ended on December 26, 1954.
