Amphibians in a Ghanaian wetland

Sounds of frogs and toads on a hot afternoon in a laid-back settlement called Trom in the Eastern Region of Ghana. In the foreground are various repetitive textures in vocalisations against a subtle background of distant birds. The sounds seem to synchronise at some point and disintegrate into its unique tempo and amplitude within distinctive stereo-fields.  

Recorded during a 3-month project assignment to Ghana between February and April, 2022. The settlement which is on a wetland is undergoing rapid development and this piece is under threat of extinction in a year or two.
