In addition to producing The Natural Curiosity Project, I also record the sounds of the natural world. There are three types of sound on this planet: biophony, which includes all the sounds made by the non-human residents of our planet; geophony, which includes the sounds made by wind, rain, water running in a stream, thunder, earthquakes, the crackling of the aurora borealis, and countless other sources; and anthropophony, the sound—noise? —made by humans, which includes airplanes, cars, chain saws, and so on. There’s way, way too much of that last one. I believe that the critters that we share this planet with have something important to say, and it’s high time we paid attention, because our very existence is silencing many of their voices. Their voices are every bit as important as ours, and when theirs fall silent, ours will soon follow.

Visit this page regularly; I’ll post links to new sounds that I’ve captured for you to enjoy.
