PURE NATURE SOUNDS
Nature Is Calling, It’s Time We Listened
In an age of increasing urban sprawl and technological advancements, finding pockets of undisturbed nature is extremely difficult.
As a professional in the realm of nature sound recording, my journey takes me beyond the hustle and bustle of modern life, delving deep into the world's most secluded and tranquil locations.
My core pursuit? To seek out regions untouched by the pervasive noise pollution that permeates our daily lives and to capture the unadulterated auditory essence of the natural world.

Personal Listening Albums
As a culmination of countless hours spent in the field, the "Personal Listening Albums" section serves as a digital library of nature's auditory wonders.
Each album, available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music, is a sonic reflection of a specific locale, encapsulating its distinct natural rhythms and melodies.
For those wanting to own a piece of this library, all albums are available for “name your price” on Bandcamp.
This pricing model ensures that the healing powers of nature remain accessible to all, and empowers listeners to play an active role in sustaining and advancing my work.
These albums are intended for personal listening enjoyment; for commercial applications, kindly refer to my dedicated commercial sound libraries below.
Commercial Libraries
Achieving truly noise-pollution free recordings is more than just microphone placement; it's an expedition deep into nature's untouched sanctuaries.
The "Commercial Libraries" section is a testament to the extensive research and fieldwork that goes into every recording.
Utilizing topographic, light pollution, and transportation noise maps, I meticulously pinpoint remote wilderness regions, often necessitating backpacking many miles to reach these undisturbed havens.
Within these secluded pockets, I capture the unparalleled purity of nature sounds, ensuring each soundbite remains untainted by modern interruptions.
This collection, comprising of seamless loops, ambient soundbeds, forest bird melodies, and the varied acoustic signatures of forests across seasons, provides professionals with a sonic palette that is as genuine as nature itself.
Field Recording Guide
Navigating the intricate world of field recording can be daunting for newcomers.
Recognizing this challenge, I published "Field Recording for Beginners," an eBook designed to provide a foundational understanding for those eager to embark on this auditory journey.
Within the book, you’ll unravel the intricacies of digital audio recording, demystifying complex concepts and ensuring a robust grasp of essentials.
Delving deeper, the guide sheds light on prevalent field recorder settings, offering a roadmap for optimal sound capture.
Gear aficionados will benefit from dedicated sections on gear selection and microphone guides, each tailored to provide actionable recommendations for various recording scenarios.
The book further equips readers with proven recording techniques, valuable field advice, and insights into post-production workflows, ensuring a complete understanding of the field recording process.
My Dream Field Recorder
Presently, there are no field recorders on the market ideal for nature sound recording.
In the hope of inspiring manufactures, I’ve dreamed up the Forest Seeker Pro, the ultimate field recorder for quiet sounds.

The realm of field recording is vast, encompassing not just the act of capturing sounds but the myriad tools, techniques, and tales that define each recording expedition.
