A short glimpse into the journey behind my latest Himalayan dawn ambience recording.

Two years ago, during a yoga retreat in Rishikesh, I carried my recording gear into the Kaudia Range in Uttarakhand, India, climbing to around 2300m altitude to capture the incredible atmosphere of the mountains at dawn.

Birds, insects, mountain wind, deep valleys, and an amazing natural acoustic environment.

The full immersive 5.1 surround recording is now available on my channel 🎧
