from the liner notes:

Sunrise in the Sukau rainforest
Recorded during October 2011 by the river Kinabatangen, Sabah, Borneo 
from 0430h
Sennheiser MKH 8040/30 middle and side array to a Nagra ARES Pll 
recorder at 48Khz 16 Bits .wav

The Sukau rainforest is a relatively narrow strip of primary forest 
either side of the banks of the river Kinabatangen in Sabah, Borneo. 
Access to the forest floor is very difficult as there are no trails, 
however at the back of the lodge where I was staying there was a narrow 
old and decaying boardwalk that led, snake like, through the dense 
undergrowth and out into what felt like another world. Each morning for 
over a week I left my lodge around 0400h and set off carefully along a 
zig zag pattern of soft and splintered planks into the velvet darkness. 
Either side of the red glow from my head torch fireflies and other 
unknown bioluminescent insects blinked and flashed their alien languages 
whilst dead ahead the small piercing red reflecting eyes of hunting bats 
streaked, missile like, directly towards me. On several mornings my GPS 
guided me to a favourite looping curve at the furthermost point of the 
2Km trail where I could stop and fix my mikes in a tree whilst trying to 
bat off the myriad host of mosquitos that quickly find anything warm 
blooded that is stationary. I rigged and set away the recording before 
quietly moving off, my ears straining to hear the distant songs of 
gibbons, the shrieks of macaques and the low whistle of a pitta. 
Sunrise, such as it is 30m below the canopy, is also accompanied by the 
slow drip of  condensation percolating down through the grey green gloom 
from a canopy 30m above as the forest is slowly revealed. – Chris Watson
