Bamboo Forest Hawaii is a 22-minute immersive 360º Mind+Body Sound journey experience crafted by the Earth Echo Collective. It showcases the captivating Bamboo Forest in Haleakala National Park, Maui, Hawaii, recorded by International field recordist Nick McMahan.
As the wind weaves through the bamboo groves, the soundscape becomes a symphony of nature's finest musicians. The enchanting combination of winds, bamboo forest, featuring various stringed instruments and the unique calls of Hawaii's tropical birds transports listeners to a world of serenity and tranquillity; using the power of 3D spatial audio to tickle your senses.
In 2022, Nick McMahan embarked on an enthralling audio expedition, spending several days in the lush Hawaiian islands to capture the essence of this magical bamboo forest. Among the stars of this audio masterpiece are the tropical bird species and the Coqui frogs that call the bamboo forest their home.
This track offers a breathtaking auditory journey, allowing individuals to escape into the heart of nature and immerse themselves in the timeless melody of Hawaii's bamboo forests and its feathered inhabitants.

Earth Echo is a collective of sound healers, sound engineers and musicians; bringing wildlife sounds from remote habitats to amplify nature’s resonance, re-imagining earth through our senses using the power of sound. We source high quality wildlife recordings from talented field recordists around the world, combining advanced audio techniques with ancient sound healing practices to create 360º meditative sensory healing experiences.
So far, our work has been entirely self-funded. We're on a mission to raise the awareness of “Sound Health”, and the benefits all of us can experience from being kind to our senses. Our goal is to reawaken the deep connection between Human Consciousness, the Earth and Nature.
Our content is not only designed for human health, but also to support the habitats where the content came from. A fifth of our profits go towards Earth Causes that serve, protect and preserve the wildlife featured in our soundscapes. This track in particular supports the Hawai'i Wildlife Center.
