The Carolina Wren From Pennsylvania, through Virginia, into North and South Carolina, across Georgia, and all the way down to Florida, there is one little voice that has followed me throughout my recording life. The...

We often talk about depth of field in photography, but there's a depth of field in sound, too. When I record the ocean, I don't simply place my microphones at the water's edge. I record from different distances...

When I was a young boy in Birmingham, I first learned what the word extinct meant. Gone forever. Back then, I couldn't really comprehend it. Today, that word has followed me throughout my life. For more than five...

The first time I ever recorded wild hyenas was on the remote Skeleton Coast of Namibia. I ran a cable from my rooftop tent, placed my microphones near a carcass and waited in the darkness. What I recorded that night...

This series of recordings was made at the same location, on the same day and at the same time each year, from 2000 to 2017. Each segment is 30 seconds long, allowing you to hear the gradual decline of the soundscape...

Some places live in your imagination long before you ever set foot there. For me, one of those places was Slimbridge. As a young boy, I sat glued to the television watching Sir Peter Scott and dreaming of the vast...

Some of the most beautiful sounds I have recorded in Australia have come from frogs. At night, after heavy rain, the forest changes completely. The darkness fills with calls from hidden lives: the Green-lipped Frog...

Some recordings stay with you for a lifetime. I traveled from the Kenyan coast at Mombasa to Buffalo Springs, a remarkable reserve in the shadow of Mount Kenya. Before sunrise, sitting quietly outside a rooftop tent, I...

Most people think it's an owl. It isn't. The first time I heard a Tawny Frogmouth was deep in Australia's Daintree Rainforest. Its haunting call rolled through the darkness like a distant engine, and when I finally...

There’s a bird in Scotland that never truly belonged there, yet somehow became part of the soul of the landscape. The Pheasant. Originally from Asia, introduced into the UK for one reason only… to be shot for sport. I...

Over a million seabirds. Albatross chicks scattered across the sand. Dolphins offshore. Monk seals resting on the beaches. One of the most alive places I have ever experienced. Those albatross chicks weren’t just being...

There’s something about rain that most people miss. To many, it’s an inconvenience… something to escape from. To me, it’s music. Rain creates its own orchestra, each surface a different instrument. I’ve recorded it all...

There are moments in life that quietly reshape you. Not with noise or drama… but with something subtle. Unexpected. For me, one of those moments came just outside the suburbs of Birmingham. I had travelled out toward...

I’ve always loved eagles. Not just admired them… loved them. The first time I saw one was in Scotland in 1978, over Glencoe. A golden eagle riding the thermals above Rannoch Moor. It wasn’t flying… it was owning the...

There was a time when you couldn’t look at the sky without hearing it. Not one bird… but many I remember lying on my back in a field as a boy, watching skylarks climb higher and higher until they disappeared from sight…...
The Listener Podcast
I have spent a lifetime listening. Not just hearing… but truly listening to the voice of the Earth. Because sound tells us things that our eyes cannot. A forest can still look whole… A river can still appear to flow… A...

I recently had an email questioning a bird I logged on Cornell’s eBird. The reviewer suggested the call I recorded was a Magnolia Warbler rather than the Red eyed Vireo I had listed. He explained that Magnolia Warblers...

This is Martyn Stewart… with a life in sound from The Listening Planet. Recently I returned to England. Home. The place where everything began. But this time the journey was different. Someone had recommended me for an...

Birds are not the only musicians in Earth’s orchestra. Amphibians, insects, mammals and marine life all play their part. But there is another section that moves me just as deeply. The sound of the planet itself. Wind...
