Sound Matters - Listening, for a better world!

We are soundscape restorers and sonic rewilders. We use sound and listening to support initiatives that make the world sound a little better. We make music too!

@worstall @GeorgeMonbiot @DartingtonTrust True, they have no money but the Trust should have let students know the situation well before the course starts, not once they’ve arrived! The Trust has known about this situation for months…

It’s #WorldListeningDay and we’re back at Great Dixter with presenter Arit Anderson! We’re exploring ways to use listening as a tool to encourage garden design/practices that can increase biodiversity…

It’s #GlobalBigDay - an annual celebration of our feathered friends!

To mark this special day, we recorded #birdsong at dawn.

A nightingale hid in the tall grasses, and sang, as the east started to glow.

We need birdsong in our lives for our #wellbeing! Enjoy…

It’s taken six years to reach the point where we’re ready to start sharing, with the world, the work we’ve been doing to create #regenerative #soundscape in southern #Spain. We believe this work has the potential to create new ways of engaging with issues such as #climatechange.

Spring near @wakehurst_kew. Almost impossible to find a quiet spot with @Gatwick_Airport being so close. We need to escape the anthropophony for our #wellbeing - we need to listen to the more-than-human sing!

@GreatDixter - can’t wait for this new soundscape project! Using sound and listening to increase #biodiversity in gardens…

[Sound Matters - Listening, for a better world! @SoundMattersHQ]

We’ve started a really exciting new collaboration with @GreatDixter! Using the art of #soundscaping we aim to encourage gardeners around the world to create more #biodiverse #gardens. Sounds interesting? Follow us for regular updates!
