is anyone aware of any recordings made from the sounds within caves?
These sounds could be of dripping water, flowing stream water, the silence within a cavern etc. in order to make a sort of music.


i seem to remember something of this nature was presented during a conferance in the mid seventies, maybe a the umist one in manchester.

any information would be greatly recieved.

Sid's Speleogenesis though not exactly fitting your bill?

A couple off the top of my head:

Steve Thomas - More People Have Been to The Moon
Andreas Vollenweifer - Caverna Magica


(I?ve made field recordings to add to my own music - but I?m crap !)

Probably not a first, but the poet Louis MacNeice died after recording sound effects (for a play to be broadcast on BBC radio) in a cave in Yorkshire in 1963 - as detailed in the December 2018 issue of BCRA's Cave and Karst Science [http://bcra.org.uk/pub/candks/covers.html].

The film 'First Light' [http://www.oucc.org.uk/history/films/CDstills1st.htm]made by the Oxford University Cave Club in Spain in 1967 had sound effects recorded later, I believe, in Yorkshire.

I remember Clive Gardener recording sound effects for the BBC in a rather remote dig on the Black Mountain in south Wales in the late 1980's...
