WhereNext’s team spent five days in Northern Colombia recording the sounds of more than 90 species of birds, five species of amphibians, two kinds of monkeys, and four types of insects.
Calderón said he had to be careful to find birds in places that were not disturbed by the sounds of motorcycles or radios, since those are noises that did not exist in 19th century Colombia, the period in which One Hundred Years of Solitude takes place.
It was an intense undertaking that could only be done in such a short time because of Calderón’s knowledge of local ecosystems, and his familiarity with birding routes in the north of Colombia.
Eichmann has also produced television series and natural history documentary films in the region, and deployed a network of local fixers for this project, who know the best places and the best times to find certain species of birds.
After the fieldwork was finished, WhereNext’s team made an audio library, with all the recordings gathered in the Caribbean region.
The tracks were delivered to the projects postproduction audio editors with information that would help them decide which scenes they would work best for, such as what altitudes different birds live at, what kind of environment they are likely to be found in, and whether a certain type of bird sings in the day or at night.
