OUR WORLD IS ANYTHING BUT SILENT

SOUND is how the natural world is able to speak to us.

It is a language, however, that many of us have long since forgotten and yet its call has never been more urgent.

 

I’ve dedicated my life to wanting to change that, to giving a voice to the seemingly voiceless and awaken a connection I believe lives deep inside all of us.

 

Never before have we faced such an urgent need to connect hearts with minds and knowledge with action in order to inspire people to value and connect with the natural world and to critically safeguard its future.”​

Martyn Stewart - Sound Recordist since the age of 11

INSPIRATION & EDUCATION

We aim to help inspire and educate the next generation of sound recordists, conservationists, stewards, artists and passionate advocates of the natural world, deepening their relationship with the earth through sound.

 

It is only by advancing our individual and collective understanding of the role that natural sound plays as a critical barometer for the health of our planet that we can more actively engage in the conversation about the vital links between nature and human well-being and be moved to act.

"Sound can also echo a disappearing world, a sonic landscape undergoing an extinction event of its own – one that is, with painful irony, happening silently.  It's a silence Stewart is hoping to challenge by releasing 55 years of recordings – a collection amounting to some 97,000 sounds to the world".
