It's very hard to say which music tracks / styles are suitable for Nature programmes, because really, anything from quirky ambient, to dark/mysterious, to combat drums and more esoteric / experimental styles can be used in Nature shows and Wildlife shows. I've even heard some "Drum'n Bass" music used in a Nature programme. So here we've just gone by ear and ticked this option for those tracks that we felt could be good in a Nature- or Diving program / Underwater film. Actually, Under water film material is easier, because it tends to be floaty, ambient, dreamy and warm soundscapes.
A full one-hour nature sound recording, with beautiful relaxation music. A sparkling fresh mountain stream, where crystal clear water trickles playfully between the rocks. The supremely refreshing and relaxing sound of the stream is only accompanied by occasional distant birds, singing carelessly and taking absolutely no notice of you. (The music that plays along with the nature sound is called 'A Journey Within' and this is also available separately as a full one-hour music track without the nature sounds. To find it, simply search our catalogue for 'A Journey Within'). [Tempo: Very slow, Slow / 0 BPM]

Live performed solo piano piece - beautiful with a slight melancholy.

This piece depicts the beauty of the countryside, and yet the touch of sadness is never far away. [Tempo: Medium / 100 BPM]
