Did I say that this music is "new"? Perhaps it would be more accurate to call it "newish".

You see, a number of customers have asked me to release a special edition of one of my most popular compositions, called "Pure of Heart".

Pure of Heart is an extremely slow, gentle and touching musical experience, but the original version contains vocal performances and chime gliss sounds that some people find a little distracting. 

So here it is - by request - Pure of Heart Subtle Edition!  All the calming deliciousness of the original edition. but with no sweeping bar chimes or vocal performances. This is a delicious addition to our royalty free meditation music collection. 

Also available is Pure of Heart, Tranquil Forest Edition (which features some of the best original nature sounds I have ever recorded).  

With three editions of Pure of Heart to choose from, you might find it difficult to choose between them. To make things easier for you I have released a Complete Collection that includes all three versions at a very reasonable price. After all, the three editions are all quite similar so I certainly wouldn't expect you to pay for each of them individually. 

The nature sounds that I used in the Tranquil Forest Edition of Pure of Heart are also available as an independent recording. This 3 minute loop is titled, "Tranquil Forest Birdsong".
 
I'm very proud of this recording. It can be VERY hard work recording good quality nature sounds (but very rewarding too). I have traveled thousands of kilometers in many field recording expeditions and every time I do I know that I might end up coming home with nothing. It takes a lot of patience to find places where good nature sounds are on offer, and once found, I have to wait until there's very little wind or rain or man-made noises. Even in the most remote locations, a perfect recording can be ruined by sounds like an airplane passing by, the harsh screeching of an unwanted bird or the sound of me shooing away mosquitoes as I sweat it out on a hot summer day in the middle of nowhere!

It's all worth it in the end. Tranquil Forest Birdsong is a rare gem which I treasure. The sound quality is fantastic and there’s a wonderful sense of space and serenity in this recording. The friendly song of these birds echoing through the the trees invokes feelings of positivity, tranquility and a real appreciation of nature. A permanent addition to my royalty free nature sound catalogue, I've also created a second version of this forest soundscape that includes insects, giving the recording more of a "summertime" sound.
