For me, sound recording is an important way to catalogue the biophony & geophony of a location at a given point in time. The landscape is ever changing and so is the life it supports. My sound recordings capture a moment that will never again exist - a "sonic photograph".

Wild Earth Voices  is a platform to enable listeners to download and experience the sounds of wild nature. Canadian Landscape Painter and photographer, Mark Brennan has long been a lover of what he calls, “The Wild Places”  and has expressed this love through his art and now nature recordings.

Mark makes time to completely immerse himself into wilderness areas and searches out the ‘sweet spot’ for his soundscape recordings in various eco-systems and habitats on Canada's East Coast. The sweet spot is the place that best brings out what he feels and experiences while on location.

Derived from the Latin “Ultimae Terrae,” meaning “the furthest places,” the name Ultimae reflects a profound theme of exploration. This concept is at the heart of Ultimae Records, an ambient music record label and publisher dedicated to transporting listeners to the outer edges of experience through sound and offering a space for introspection and discovery within the vastness of the mind and beyond.

In 1999, Vincent Villuis and Sandrine Gryson, also known as AES Dana and Mahiane, united over a shared passion for the immersive world of electronic music. This collaboration led to the birth of the label. Initially envisioned as a musical portal, Ultimae’s mission was to explore and disseminate the diverse expressions of Ambient music far and wide through the production of records and the establishment of an online shop.

Over the years, Ultimae has expanded beyond its original scope, evolving into a multifaceted company with sound design, post-production, and mastering studios based in Lyon, France, along with professional services in publishing, music licensing, and synchronization.

Ketama Records is Russian vinyl and digital label established by famous Ketama café which is definitely one of the best chill out places in Moscow. Ketama Records was created in 2011 to release quality downtempo, chillout, ambient and leftfield music by the most respectable and talented international artists of these genres.

Today's high-speed, high-anxiety social media merry-go-round is a 24/7 torrent of noise and flimflammery. As my sweet, now-departed mother-in-law would say, it's "crazy-making!"

MinnesotaSoundscapes.com is my small attempt to offer a measure of temporary relief from the madness. It's a collection of stereo sound portraits captured in quiet, remote locations across northern Minnesota. No music, just clean, spacious natural ambiences.

(WARNING: This material won't grab you by the ankles and swing you around in circles the way you might expect from some of your favorite music. If you choose to listen, be prepared to "throttle yourself back" and allow these nature soundscape recordings to settle over you in their own good time. If you're able to do that, there's a good chance that you might enjoy a rewarding listening experience.)
