Grant Mackay’s 2023 re-mastered, “LAKESIDE SAVANNAH (DELUXE EDITION), now released under the Grant Mackay Music moniker www.grantmackaymusic.com, is a tour-de-force of nature sounds and audio realism. It captures the day and nighttime bird and wildlife sounds of various environments from the Point Petre Nature Preserve, a remote wilderness located on the southernmost tip of the island of Prince Edward County in Ontario.

In this recording, you can listen to the wave sounds from the limestone rock shores on its western reaches; the midnight sounds of crickets, peeper frogs, and aquatic birds of its interior blue heron rookery; and the sounds of kingfishers, terns, and seagulls that inhabit the southern shores of its gull bar.

“The clarity, detail, and sense of distance of these recordings are stunning. Of all the environmental soundscapes I’ve heard, this is one of the more “I feel like I am actually there” ones. And the packaging is superb as always! Thanks again, it’s absolutely wonderful!”

-Tim Clement, Composer.

“…the clarity of the recordings is superb… It resonates with me…” -Rob Stimpson, Wilderness Photographer, Rob Stimpson Photography

“The Savannah disc is crisp and clear as if nature were itself in the living room.” -Beck H., Music Aficionado.

PLEASE NOTE: The Deluxe Edition CDr is the 2023 remastered version and the Digital Album is the original 2005 recording.
