The Northern Rivers area of eastern Australia is famous for its... rivers! This recording was made near a waterfall in one of the many waterways that form on the slopes of the Wollumbin volcano, which forms the northern edge of the region. The water here is cool and the hue is brown from the rich volcanic soils over which the rain flows before gathering in the river valleys. The area is famous for its healing energy and with this recording you can see whether this energy can be transmitted at a distance of space and time into your body. Hosted on Acast.

Fire 🔥 Element
The last time Wollumbin erupted was 23 million years ago. So, in bringing the fire element from the slopes of Wollumbin the sound comes from the combustion of local wood that had been felled by a recent storm. Even though the volcano once stood at more the twice its current height and breathed fire with such force that it created the largest erosion caldera in the entire Southern Hemisphere of planet Earth, it is quiescent now. But that energy still courses through the plants that grown from its soil and the waters that course down its skirts. So there is a volcanic element at play behind the crackling of the tree branches and leaves being burned in this recording. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Air 💨 Element
The Eastern edge of the Wollumbin caldera has eroded down into the sea. This point, called Cape Byron, is the Eastern most point of the entire Australian continent. It is often a very windy place. This recording was taken just off the beach beneath a Coastal Pandanus tree and captures the Air Element where it intersects with water (the South Pacific Ocean), earth (beneath a weathered tree perched between sand and mountain), and Fire (at the foot of a wise old volcano). Being so ephemeral, we can only sense the air element when it interacts with one of the other three elements. This recording captures all three interactions in one. Hosted on Acast.

Earth 🏔 Element
The north eastern corner of the Australian state of NSW is home to a primordial remnant of Gondwana Land's original rainforest. This area, sometimes called "The Big Scrub" was once a vast subtropical lowland rainforest fed by the rich volcanic soils left over from the ancient Wollumbin Volcano (or what white settlers called Mount Warning). The forest was largely destroyed starting in the 1840’s by the timber and then the dairy industries. Today the original rainforest exists only as isolated remnants scattered throughout the region ringed by the extinct Wollumbin caldera. It consistently rains around 2,000 mm/yr in the Big Scrub yet there are extended periods of sunshine (often on the same day as the rain). The rich, red volcanic soil and mild, largely frost-free climate compliment the rain and the sun to create the ideal conditions for the earth to manifest itself in all its variety and glory. This recording was taken at dawn along one of the ridges created by Wollumbin's last eruption 23 million years ago. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Thunder & Rain in an Australian Summer
Not far from what is now called Sydney, on 7 May 1770, Captain James Cook sailed along Australia’s Eastern seaboard and described in his journal "some pretty high land which projected out in three bluff points.” One of the three “bluff points” was called Tudibaring in the local Aboriginal tongue, purported to mean 'place where the waves pound like a beating heart', perhaps because of the flat rock shelves at the base of the high bluff that the surf continuously pounds. This recording was taken during a hot summer afternoon thunderstorm in a quiet New South Wales coastal neighborhood that now hugs the rim of this headland. Hosted on Acast.
