The result was <i>AOTEAROA\u00a0<\/i><i>\u2013 Nature Sounds of New Zealand<\/i>, an album which\u00a0captured the essence of many of NZ\u2019s amazing natural\u00a0environments. From forests and bush to Pacific shores, via\u00a0waterfalls, caves, streams and extraordinary geothermal\u00a0activity, the album featured relaxing and energising\u00a0\u2018postcards in sound\u2019 from all over the country. Clive\u2019s recording odyssey took him from the Bay of\u00a0Islands in the north to Dunedin and the Otago Peninsula\u00a0in the south to hear New Zealand\u2019s wonderful natural\u00a0atmospheres and the calls of entrancing birds like the T\u016b\u012b,\u00a0Bellbird and Saddleback.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-image-element \" style=\"text-align:center;--awb-max-width:400px;--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" alt=\"The artwork for New Zealand Naturally by Symbiosis\" title=\"AOTEAROA &#8211; Nature Sounds of New Zealand\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20400%20400%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27400%27%20height%3D%27400%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/www.symbiosis-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/AOTEAROA-RGB-1200x1200.jpg\" class=\"lazyload img-responsive wp-image-1374\"\/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:10px;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-11\"><p>The New Zealand Tourism Board\u2019s London office were\u00a0so impressed by the quality of the recordings and the\u00a0way <i>AOTEAROA <\/i>evoked\u00a0the natural atmospheres of\u00a0NZ that they sponsored its\u00a0release in the UK.
