Deep Listening to Nature with Andrew Skeoch – Tree Week

Join Libraries ACT for a special event with master nature sound recordist Andrew Skeoch for Tree Week 2024.

Andrew 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.
Andrew Skeoch is a naturalist, sound recordist, environmental thinker and author of ‘Deep Listening to Nature’.

Over the last thirty years, he has documented the sounds of environments around the planet, and through his label ‘Listening Earth’, published over one hundred recordings allowing listeners to immerse themselves in wild soundscapes from around the world.
