Lost Sounds of the Nile, a radio documentary is now available.

From California, to Chicago, to Cairo and down the winding Nile Valley, Lost Sounds of the Nile is a radio documentary that explores the rich musical traditions of Egypt. Douglas Irvine produced the program, weaving interviews with musicians, instrument makers, and scholars with narration, field recordings and musical score.

"Soundscapes of the Dinosaurs is tantalizingly real and sets your imagination of fire. More vividly than images, "Soundscapes" invites you to step back in time."

Paleontologist, Paul Sereno

"Often relaxing, sometimes heart-pounding. As I listened to Doug's CD the images flowed in my head."
