The Sonic World of the Invisible

Primary and secondary Research
  • HUMAN Perspective, ‘Unheard’ frequencies ?
  • subsonic (below 20 Hz)
  • ultrasonic (above 20,000 Hz)

Sounds in these ranges are critical to the survival and communication of many species, but they are “unheard” by us unless we have the proper equipment to capture them.

Additionally, some natural events or processes also unfold in patterns that occur too slowly or too quickly for us to notice.

  • The connection?

Sound recording in nature allows us to discover a deeper connection with the world around us. By tuning into the sounds that are typically beyond our reach, whether because they are outside the range of human hearing or are obscured by our own limited attention, we open ourselves to new ways of understanding and appreciating the natural environment.

In my opinion, the nature, the environment is in a more mindful, listening-centered way. I feel like there are lots of similarities between wild animals and human, we came from the same initial originally. It should be workable to read wild animals’ movements or actions as we can read human ourselves.

‘ As we capture the sounds of the wilderness, we become part of its rhythm. With each recording, we not only document but also contribute to the ongoing narrative of a living, breathing planet—a planet whose fate depends on our awareness and understanding. ‘
