Creating immersive sound-led wildlife experiences for conservation and research.

INTO THE HIMALAYAS 360

We collaborated with our friends at Habitat XR on this incredible project, a Riverbank Studios Production, in collaboration with with United Nations Development Programme India and The Ministry of Environment & Forests Govt. of India, has been selected as one of the three ‘Best 360° Storytelling’ finalists!

A Sounding Wild x Spatial Audio Labs production for Wildlife Alliance

From the stories of an ex-poacher to a ranger working for Wildlife Alliance, we’ll learn about how the natural environment and wildlife living in the Cardamom Mountains of Cambodia had been threatened and protected.

Selected and already showcased at EarthXR2020, ARTSxSDGs and Kaleidoscope’s Virtual Noise at SXSW2020.

Everyone told the filmmakers at Habitat XR that filming African leopards in the wild was impossible. The solitary animals are notoriously hard to catch on camera and are declining in population around the world due to habitat loss.

But these filmmakers were inspired to catch the animals on camera for an educational project for kids. A passionate Belgian philanthropist asked them to create an immersive VR education experience on Africa’s famously dangerous Big Five animals—lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants and buffalo.

Not only did Habitat XR manage to film the leopards, they even got one on a kill and another one sniffing the camera! Check out the full 8K 360 video below (be sure to toggle on 8K quality for the highest clarity).

‘A Predicament of Pangolins’ will be showcased at EarthXR 2020 conference!

Having a listen to the miriads of Wrens in the cemetery near my house in London.

I can hear their trills from far, these being great acustic features as they travel further then the rest of the song most of the times. Does this helps them finding more mates?

Seems like I have a topic to research and test #bioacoustics #wildlife #biology #ecology #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeconservation #wildlife_seekers

It's International Dawn Chorus day this weekend! Wake up early and go to listen to nature taking over the soundscape! This happens every day (!!!), but from 5am on the 2nd May to 6am on the 3rd May (times BST, UTC +1) we're celebrating it all together!

If you can't go out, you can listen to livestreams from ALL OVER the world, as Wildlife Sound Recording Society we also have a page dedicated to it (I will be livestreaming also!). Visit it here https://www.wildlife-sound.org/sounds-of-nature/international-dawn-chorus

For the occasion, at next week's listening session we will listen to the recordings WSRS's members made. Can we have some new voices next week? There is no excuse not to have a recording to share.

Register on Eventbrite - WSRS DAWN CHORUS LISTENING SESSION

When I started focusing on wildlife sound, I thought I was going to spend more time to create #immersive content with my recordings. I didn't think I was going to direct immersive experiences!

Well, I have, and it's going crazily well! The first piece is almost finished and will be showcased at @earthxfilm festival!
This is a HAPPENING RIGHT NOW, ONLINE, part of the @earthxorg conference.

Every day lots of talks, virtual premieres and so on.

I'm so thrilled 'Life On The Edge' is part of the official selection, can't wait to take it out to the world! - @axel3dsound

Been recording this beautiful event near my hometown. 23 years spent here and I didn't know this was happening every day over the winter season. I'm happy to finally be able to enjoy these moments #Wildlife #FieldRecording #SpatialAudio #WildlifeSound #Geese @WildlifeSound Been recording this beautiful event near my hometown. 23 years spent here and I didn't know this was happening every day over the winter season.

In #Europe there is lots of wildlife, you just have to know where to go. I met the incredible #SoundRecordist #IvoVicic and some #SoundWork will come up real soon.

Will spend time around #Slovenia and #Croatia this year, back to the roots! #Wolf #Fox #Bear #DawnChorus #WildlifeSound #Conservation

This short solo adventure at Khao Yai park has come to the end. It has been one of the most exciting, educational, and fun experinces ever. Got some pretty good recordings of #gibbons, #hornbills and crazy loud #frogs in their habitats, plus someother #Biophonies. Looking forward to share them! #Ambisonics #SpatialAudio #FieldRecording #Biophony #NatureSoundscape #Nature #Thailand

The @zoomcorpuk #H3VR is a great tool. With a small power bank it can last forever!
