This episode was recorded at the bottom of a narrow canyon. Water pours down constantly from the rock wall and hard-packed dirt up above, causing frequent landslides. Objects fall in from above, like forgotten bits of nature. A piece of bamboo five inches across and eight feed long lay impaled on the rocks at the bottom. 

As water dripped on it from above, the hollow shape acted as a beautiful drum. Birds argued throughout the canyon - finches, hummingbirds, and the occasional crow. 

I imagined this was the sound of a midday rain on the a home in the jungle, or a quietly rainy day on the balcony. 

This field recording was recorded by placing the microphone as close as possible to the falling water without it getting wet. It is a continual recording, omitting only my footsteps at the beginning and the end of placing the microphone. 

I hope you enjoy it. I certainly enjoyed being there.
