Cigales et grillons

For official release:
Need to check tracks name vs. cover/booklet (seems to miss the english part for instance)

This CD lets the listener discover the incredibly varied sounds in the songs of insects on our planet Earth. It contains some sixty examples of songs of cicadas, crickets, grasshoppers and mole-crickets recorded on five continents, day and night, during all four seasons. (A). We, used to the stridulations of European insects, are often surprised by the beauty and strangeness of rhythm and of tone given by tropical insects. We also find some sounds that appear familiar, as some insect families have conquered the whole world. Urbanization, pollution and deforestation all contribute to a rapide decline of biodiversity, especially in tropical regions. Some of the insect concerts recorded here may well disappear within the near future. The recording of insects is technically very difficult. For those who are interested, those recordings made in digital are noted with (N), those in analogue with (A).
