Tracks: Dawn In The Okefenokee Swamp Dusk In The Okefenokee Swamp About The Record: Environments (Totally New Concepts In Sound - Disc 6) is a 1974 vinyl LP released by Syntonic Research Inc., part of the pioneering Environments series of natural sound recordings created by producer Irv Teibel. This sixth installment immerses listeners in the authentic ambient sounds of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia, capturing dawn choruses of birds, insects, and wildlife transitioning to dusk with frog calls and nocturnal activity across its two sides. Recorded in quadraphonic sound for an enhanced spatial experience, the album exemplifies the series' innovative use of high-fidelity field recordings without musical accompaniment, aimed at promoting relaxation, concentration, and therapeutic benefits. Historically significant as one of the earliest ambient soundscape projects, the Environments series?distributed by Atlantic Records?laid foundational groundwork for modern sound therapy, ASMR, and environmental audio genres, influencing countless wellness and meditation products. Notably, the album produced no hit singles, as it contains no songs or traditional tracks but rather continuous environmental immersions.
