As night falls in the African savanna, the sounds change dramatically. From the lush ambience of the afternoon and dusk chorus, the soundscape becomes eerie and mysterious. The constant insect chorus is ever present, with very few other elements.
In the stunted mopane woodland, a single African scops owl calls. It repeats the warbly whistle for 10, even 20 minutes at a time. The resonance of the wooded valley creates beautiful acoustics that provide a sense of space. Soon enough the first owl is joined by others in the distance, creating a weird polyrhythm that adds structure to the cricket song. They only stop when soft rain falls in the woodland, and then resume later in different places.
