How can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply to nature around us? As part of ACT Tree Week 2024 master nature sound recordist, Andrew Skeoch, will guide you into hearing the languages of nature; developing your auditory awareness, identifying species by ear, recognising behaviours and repertoire, and finding empathy with the voices of other beings. Deeper listening allows us to hear the integrity of entire ecosystems, the influence of evolution and earth time, and reveal what the communications of the biosphere tell us about how nature functions to achieve sustainability.
Andrew’s presentations are accompanied by vibrant recordings and spectrogram analysis that shows the beauty of birdsong. You’ll hear the environment around you in a whole new way.
