I hope my philosophy will give you a bit of inspiration to go out and record, and to question outdated methods: mindful-audio.com/blog/introdu... #fieldrecording

While this was mostly a one-person-band sort of show, it couldn't have happened without the excellent sounds of @georgevlad.bsky.social and @trexbeverly.bsky.social, the animal Foley assistance of Tom Rees, and the sage sonic advice of Ryan Cota and @hazelhaus.bsky.social.

An hour of nature soundscape (free from anthropogenic noise) might take me a few weeks of work, between research, organising and leading an expedition, fieldwork, listening back in the studio, editing, mastering and writing a little story about it. #fieldrecording

Last year I had to track down and record the largest eagle on our planet, the Steller's sea eagle. It wasn't an easy task, made more complicated by blizzards, whiteouts, biting cold and sudden road closures, but I managed to capture a good selection of calls: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEP_...

Sounds of the Daintree rainforest - earth.fm Nestled in Australia’s Wet Tropics region, the Daintree Rainforest contains the oldest continuously surviving rainforest on earth, more than 10 million years older than the Amazon. Just one hectare…

A very lazy Sunday with Myrtl. I think she knows I’m leaving soon and she wants to spend as much time as possible with me today.

We spent a whole day tracking lions and when we found them, we decided to stick around so we could record their calls. Somehow we picked the laziest ones around, because they slept a lot, yawned and stretched but did not make one sound until nightfall. When they finally did roar, it was magnificent

Unbelievable colours of the Namib desert at sundown.

And so begins my solo expedition to Namibia.

Just published three new albums recorded in the Amazon rainforest on my website. wildambience.com/albums/

Here's a sample from 'Cuyabeno Dawn' - put some headphones on and enjoy the sound of the rainforest awakening!

Stijn Demeulenaere after a particularly grueling day in the field - Sumatra, 2023. That expedition was one of the most challenging we've been on, but the sounds we captured in those rainforests are worth all the effort, sweat, insect bites, disease etc.

Air Bubbles and Limestone Breathing - earth.fm Surrounded by steep rocks and clear water, reminiscent of a mini calanque, I found a pocket beneath the rocky wall of Plage de la pointe d’Endoume, right behind where I like to have late lunch before…

New recording from sound artist and field recordist Gina Lo ✨

"Gentle waves break and flow into the gaps between the stones.
Listen to the air bubbles and limestone breathing, the marbled rock crab chirping, and the occasional pigeon flapping its wings and hooting."

Sounds like it was pretty intense! Hope it was worth the tickbites.

Looking great Marc, hope you managed to record some good soundscapes.

Absolutely well deserved Oscars Best Sound win for Dune: Part Two! I’m very proud to have recorded the beautiful sounds of the Sahara for this legendary picture 🔥 #fieldrecording #filmsound #sounddesign

A few minimalist landscapes from Hokkaido.

If someone ever asks you what the best bird is, you can confidently answer: Steller’s sea eagle. That is all.

Well deserved BAFTA sound win for Dune Part Two! The film does sound as stunning as it looks, if I can say so myself.

#fieldrecording the sounds of winter in Japan’s wild North. The snow makes everything sound nice and pleasant.
