Over the past four years, British recording artist Benjamin Berry (of Fear of Tigers fame) has been working on a musical companion to our Field Guide to Identifying Unicorns by Sound.  As we simply can't wait for that release, we've been recording some tracks of our own, in conjunction with voice artists Jonathan Caws-Elwitt, Hilary Caws-Elwitt, Robert Parker, and Karen Kahler.  We've even worked in some fantastical unicorn facts not previously revealed in the field guide.  Our first recordings are available for free listening over at Soundcloud.  Remember that for every heart icon you click, a baby unicorn takes its first steps.
