Calming nature sounds

The morning insects give way to the morning dawn chorus of birds, howler monkeys wake with their calls, bellbirds, oropendola , white throated capuchin, resplendent quetzal, sunbittern and falcons are heard through the wet jungle as Cicadas bring an end to the day...

Welcome to The Albums.
Explore and discover the vast and fascinating collection of natural sounds captured by Martyn over the decades from across the globe, each curated to transport us through a myriad of wonders, from Borneo, Cuba and the Daintree, to Alaska, Panama, and the Serengeti.

Recording the world one sound at a time, to educate the ear and calm the mind.

“Every single recording I’ve made, 90,000-plus files, has a unique story behind them. When you actually see something disappear – I saw the Hawaiian crow disappear on the Big Island; there’s 25 left in captivity – it’s heartbreaking. But if we treat the robin or the magpie, the lion or the polar bear, like it was physically endangered, we’d go a long way to understanding what we need to do preserve this planet.”

This is a “quiet recording” from nature reserve Flói in the southwest of Iceland.
This recording contains many local birds and migrants. Birds as Red- necked Phalarope, Arctic stern, Red throated diver, Black tailed Goldwit, Common Snipe, Golden Plover, Whimbrel, Eurasian Oystercatcher and many other birds are in this recording. Noisiest and probably "ugliest sound" in this recording is the Red throated diver´s territorial call, but they also express in the recording a beautiful calm conversation with their eyes.
Background noise is coming from the surf among the south cost.
The recording was made in 26th of June 2012 around 3 am and is just nine minutes of ten hours recording that day. The weather was calm, clear sky and temperature around 5°C.
This is a very quiet nature recording so you should not play it loud. If you stay there you can barely hear this birdsong or this bird activity with open ears. You should play it like you think you will hear it trough open window, as a background sound. Best way to listen to all the details and explore the bird species is using quality headphones. This recording contains also very loud session when all Red throated divers in the area “scream” their territorial call.

Recorder: Sound devises 744. (24bit/48Khz)
Microphones: Rode NT1a (NOS setup)
The picture was taken at 26th of June 2012 at the recording place almost at the same time.

Have you ever wondered why your ocean recordings don’t sound like the way you hear them??
Most people record the ocean by standing close to the shore and pointing a microphone at it.
The thing is, Microphones are not ears….
The best way to record the sounds of the ocean is to do it in three steps and mix them together to create a better perspective.
Try recording 50 yards away, then record another separate track 100 yards away and the same, 150 yards away.
When you mix together it sounds more realistic like this.

20230623T Blackbird Communication

I started therapy when I was very young……
I didn’t need my mum to go with me
I went alone.
I needed no money
And if I listened, I could hear a calming voice 
My therapy was and is healing.

You could have it too.

Close your eyes and listen……

Ditch your therapist and trust in nature, she listens and heals for free.

20230625T Nature's Therapy

What language can we learn to better understand?

French, Italian, Spanish? What about German?…..

Well certainly, it is beneficial to communicate in these languages while in these countries but what language can we learn to benefit everybody?

I’ll give you a clue!

The Language of the planet. 

Imagine…if you could lay bare the whole acoustical spectrum of the natural world…
in all its wonder…

To hear the simple flow of water babbling down a stream and the song of the skylark as it takes flight.  To  witness the oceans dawn chorus and the song of a humpback whale as it begins its dance or the hiss of cicadas drifting on waves of heat-humid air.  

To feel the world come alive, to relearn a language critical to our understanding of the world around us.. and to see that our acoustic planet is not simply a random and orderless cacophony, but a palpable ecological dimension of life on earth.

The sounds of nature have long been associated with mental wellbeing, allowing our imagination to linger on what we hear, transporting us… but they also reveal the densities and intricacies of life – its health and fragility.  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.
We want to bring NATURE’S VOICE to the world in a way that it has never been felt or experienced before. ..to connect hearts with minds, knowledge with action and to ignite a passion to safeguard its future.

The Planet actually talks but we need to listen

Agile Gibbons break the morning air, hornbills call from their perch, the cicada and other stridulating insects saturate the biophony with their nonstop sounds.

Borneo Sample

In nature's dance, a timeless rhyme,
No wars conceived, no famine's grime.
Mother Nature weaves a gentle song,
Where harmony reigns, and peace belongs.

Animals roam in instinct's grace,
No destructive footprints to erase.
They coexist, a balanced chore,
Unlike the chaos mankind may implore.

A symphony of life in every tree,
No battles fought for territory.
The rivers flow with a tranquil ease,
A stark contrast to man's unease.

Man, with the power to create,
Yet often wields it with darker fate.
In nature's arms, a lesson found,
To nurture, not destroy, on sacred ground.

So let us learn from nature's lore,
Embrace the love that life implores.
In the tapestry of Earth's grand art,
Find the peace that lies in every heart

Nature Sound 4 - THE MOST RELAXING SOUNDS -

3 minute audio sample from the 67 minute nature sound album; "Song of the Blackbird", available for download from http://www.listeningearth.com/LE/product.php?id=108

The melodious voices of Blackbirds are often the first to begin the European spring dawn chorus.

This recording takes us into an old growth woodland, where Blackbird territories intersect, to hear several birds singing in lusty voice.

We first hear the opening notes of the dawn chorus, with tawny owls also calling nearby. We are then treated to a rich solo from a single Blackbird, which eventually opens into a rich chorus of morning birdsong; blue tits, chaffinches, nuthatch, raven and cuckoo.

Finally, something special. Blackbirds are an introduced species into Australia and New Zealand, and our concluding track features a dusk solo from one of these antipodean Blackbirds.
