«Nomascus Concolor’s Call »
Rodolphe Alexis
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A misty dawn in the Laotian mountain wet forest of the Nam Kan National Protected Area.
Singing under the summer rain, a couple of western Black Crested Gibbon, (Nomascus Concolor Lu) claim their territory during around 20 min. We easily can ears the rain drop hitting the sheet metal roof of a treehouse 30 mts above the slope of the forest valley and suspended on a big strangler fig tree. Only found in northwestern Laos, Nomascus Concolor Lu is a critically endangered sub specie of the black crested gibbon. This document was recorded in collaboration with the ecotourism project "The Gibbon Experience" during the summer closing period in 2017. The file is a binaural downmix of ambisonic recording.
