AT THE HEART OF THE LISTENING PLANET IS A COLLECTION OF STORIES IN SOUND
The Listening Planet Library is one of the most important private collections of nature sounds that exists in the world.
Founder, Martyn Stewart – born and raised in Birmingham, England - has been a world-leading sound recordist since 1975, recording in over 60 countries and capturing over 3500 species of birds, countless insects, amphibians and mammals.
He has made it his life's mission to record the world one species at a time. The collection currently contains over 30,000 hours of nature sounds and soundscapes, more than 90,000 individual sounds and as many intimate stories from the natural world

"THE LISTENING PLANET is both a celebration Stewart’s contributions to the field of audio naturalism and his final effort to call attention to vulnerable places and animals"
"Stewart is collecting 55 years of recordings from extensive fieldwork around the world into a series of albums and an online hub. There, listeners can immerse themselves in a meticulously captured series of natural soundscapes from around the world – some of which no longer exist."
