Dusk Chorus

A remarkable sonic journey into the Amazon rainforest, where one man races to preserve the disappearing soundscape of the world’s biodiversity.

Sound artist, researcher, eco-acoustic composer David Monacchi ventures into a remote primeval rainforest in Ecuador to record an uninterrupted 24-hour 3D soundscape that will preserve the unique sound of one of the world’s richest ecosystems for future generations. Climate change, oil extraction, and extreme drought are just some of the threats facing this acoustic heritage, shaped over millions of years of evolution. The film immerses viewers in the rainforest’s mesmerizing soundscape, revealing the fragile and rapidly disappearing natural world.
