Tropical rain forests hold a special place in our imaginations. They sustain myriad life forms yet retain a mysterious sense of presence. A place of marvels where we sometimes fear to tread. 'The Sound of Sanctuary', is a live surround sound mix presented by Chris Watson and specially recorded on location at sunrise in the Amber Mountain rain forest of Northern Madagascar. For 20 minutes come and take a walk in one of the most remarkable habitats on earth. Stop, listen, and experience the sounds of the slow drip of time.

Musician and sound recordist specialising in natural history
Watson is one of the world's leading recorders of wildlife and natural phenomena, and here he edits his field recordings into a filmic narrative. The unearthly groaning of ice in an Icelandic glacier is a classic example of, in Watson's words, putting a microphone where you can't put your ears.
