1. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Dry Winds of Kalahari (02:53)
   The Kalahari Desert is a place of extremes. Thunder and silence dominate the hot, dry soundscape. Nowhere else have I been as tortured by thirst. The shaping force of the Kalahari is drought, which is amplified by the Dry Winds.\n
2. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Evening Lizards (03:32)
   Lizards do very well, and the evening is often filled with their chorus.\n
3. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Insect Solo (01:51)
   This is a strange land with unexpected events - the promise of water rumbles in the sky while an insect, perhaps a katydid, performs a solo.\n
4. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Thunder and Silence (13:22)
   Each time lightening flashes the insect responds by changing pitch! Can you hear the static electricity that surrounds the storm? Only a spoonful of water reaches the ground, but this is a gift. Sometimes rain falls, but never reaches the ground, evaporat
5. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Dawn (01:49)
   Night ends at Bushman Fountain with the call of an owl.\n
6. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Questions (11:00)
   The dawn chorus is sparse but expressive. When I recorded the songs of unfamiliar birds, I could not help but ask myself about the life of the Bushman who sat here over 2,500 years ago.\n
7. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Solitude (15:20)
   The quiet music of solitude continues.\n
8. Gordon Hempton, Sound Tracker - Eye of the Fountain (11:58)
   The quiet music of solitude continues to the eye of the fountain.
