If you read the article it ends with this.

Allegedly, this is just a two-track recording of crickets: one at normal speed, and one slowed-down, with the pitch also dropped.

It sounds amazing and beautiful, like a heavenly choir of opera singers. But is this merely a recording of crickets? As much as you’d like to believe that nature is exactly this beautiful to our own ears, that’s not quite the case. Here’s what really happened, as told by opera singer Bonnie Jo Hunt:

I had these messages saying that Robbie Robertson said to get in touch with me. So we went in studio. He said, `I want you to do whatever you feel like. And, now, these are crickets.’ So I thought, oh, my goodness. I’m to accompany crickets, see?

And when I heard them, I was so ashamed of myself, I was so humbled, because I had not given them enough respect. Jim Wilson recorded crickets in his back yard, and he brought it into the studio and went ahead and lowered the pitch and lowered the pitch and lowered the pitch. And they sound exactly like a well-trained church choir to me. And not only that, but it sounded to me like they were singing in the eight-tone scale. And so what–they started low, and then there was something like I would call, in musical terms, an interlude; and then another chorus part; and then an interval and another chorus. They kept going higher and higher.

They were saying cricket words. I kept thinking, `Oh, I almost can understand them. It’s a nice, mellow tone. And they never went off pitch until one of the interludes, where they went real crazy and they got back on again to where they were. And I know that people do not know that they’re listening to crickets unless they’re told that that’s what that is.

So yes, you are listening to two cricket tracks: crickets at normal speed (in Jim Wilson’s backyard), crickets slowed down with the pitch dropped (by Wilson and possibly Robbie Robertson), but it’s also accompanied by Bonnie Jo Hunt‘s beautiful, human singing. Still beautiful, still fascinating, but not just crickets alone!

Psalm 148:5 Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for he gave the command and they came into existence.

148:6 He established them so they would endure,
he issued a decree that will not be revoked.

148:7 Praise the LORD from the earth,
you sea creatures and all you ocean depths.

148:8 O fire and hail, snow and clouds,
O stormy wind that carries out his orders.

148:9 you mountains and all you hills,
you fruit trees and all you cedars,

148:10 you animals and all you cattle,
you creeping things and all you birds....

Makes you think/wonder about things, doesn't it.

I did a couple of searches on this- it appears to be real.

"and they sound exactly like a well-trained church choir to me."

Seems like it should be easy with today's technology, to simply remove her part, and let people hear only the crickets.

Note that she said she was amazed and humbled by the crickets singing.

Angelic. And very soothing as well.

Thank you so much for posting this.

Jiminy Cricket-One of my favorite Disney characters from childhood. Cute video clip.

WOW! It is celestial.

I ended up at Tom Waits Library site where the Tom Waits’ quote was lifted from and he and the person responsible for the recording have worked together on movies and music for a long time.

With all the people interested in this phenomena, no doubt someone with the technology will do a recording of just the crickets themselves.

I found an interesting article from the London Telegraph about *music* from stars. Apparently stars emit frequencies that can be heard in a manner of speaking.

Here’s the link.....

I heard a preacher say once that in the pre-flood world that the stars would have resonated with the outer atmosphere and it would have acted as to amplify the sound of the stars. I can’t remember what verse he quoted that he said when translated properly said that the stars sang. Mitch5501 may remember who the preacher was - my mind ain’t as sharp as it used to be and it wasn’t very sharp then LOL

God’s creatures praising and honoring Him all the days of their lives. We are created by Him to do the same. Of all God’s creatures, we have the most to be grateful for being made in His image, yet we appreciate Him the least of all.

Job 38:1-7 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3 Dress for action like a man;
I will question you, and you make it known to me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
Or who stretched the line upon it?
6 On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its cornerstone,
7 when the morning stars sang together
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

I guess my GSD slowed down from dog-years would sound like Armageddon. God forbid the roar of my kitties.
