Audio voyage into the daily sounds of the country yard in rural Poland. Include the sounds of countryside animals: dogs, pigs, birds, horses, cows, goats as well as outdoor sounds of the surrounding environment.
Ambient sounds of Eastern European bird - the chaffinch (zieba). The powerful songs of the chaffinch are very well known, and its fink or vink sounding call gives the finch family its English name. Males typically sing two or three different song types, and there are regional dialects too.
The call of a frog is unique to its species. Frogs call by passing air through the larynx in the throat. In most calling frogs, the sound is amplified by one or more vocal sacs, membranes of skin under the throat or on the corner of the mouth that distend during the amplification of the call.

Influenced by contemporary, jazz and ambient styles, Victor Chorobik’s work captures the essence of sounds, scenes and timeless human stories. Electronic instruments weave an evocative backdrop to complementary acoustic "storylines" told by flutes, reeds, percussion. For Victor, the composition process, free improvisation, and the act of performance all involve the construction of these musical narratives.
This is the sound of globalization! Traditional Polish songs, with their cutting vocals and meshed fiddles are the foundation of Warsaw Village Band's repertory. But while their lineup is primarily acoustic - hand drums, hammered dilcimer, violins, cello - their sensibilities are modern. They hear dance -club drive and trancey echoes in the songs and they use recording studio techniques to heighten the central drones and eerie percussive sounds in their songs. Hints of reggae and guests like a scratching disc jockey should further infuriate purists. (The New York Times)
