Nokturno is a 60-minute field recording album by Martina Testen and Simon Šerc, guiding listeners through the mysterious soundscapes of the nocturnal world. The recordings were gathered over a period of ten years, during which the authors spent countless nights in the forest.

Divided into eight chapters – Sunset, Twilight, Dusk, Nightfall, Midnight, After Midnight, Predawn, and Dawn – the album traces a natural arc from the fading light of day to the awakening chorus of morning. From twilight frogs and nocturnal beetles to the haunting calls of owls, the roar of stags, and the distant howls of wolves, the album reveals the hidden symphony of the night.

Nokturno continues the work of Biodukt, an audio project that captures the natural sounds of forests and gained international recognition with features in major media outlets such as The Guardian and the BBC. While Biodukt follows the rhythm of the day, Nokturno begins at sunset and carries listeners through the night until the first light of dawn.

Beyond sound alone, Nokturno invites reflection on the inner lives of animals - creatures that think, feel, and navigate their world with subtle intelligence. It is an intimate, immersive celebration of nocturnal realm, a journey into the fragile ecosystems that sustain life under the veil of darkness.

Immersive and atmospheric, Nokturno captures the beauty, mystery, and fragility of nocturnal life. It is both a celebration of nature’s hidden orchestra and a reminder of the importance of protecting the habitats where these sounds still resonate.
