How can we engage our hearing to connect more deeply to the nature around us? Join Andrew Skeoch - an acoustic ecologist - as he guides you into hearing the languages of nature.

Acoustic ecologist, Andrew Skeoch, will guide you into hearing the languages of nature; developing your listening skills, 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, and reveal what the communications of the biosphere tell us about how nature functions to achieve sustainability. 

Andrew’s presentations are an immersive weaving of evocative recordings, fascinating spectrogram analysis and original ideas. You’ll hear the natural environment around you in a whole new way. 

Andrew Skeoch is a professional wildlife sound recordist 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.

His recordings have been heard in documentaries, installations and feature films such as Peter Gabriel's soundtrack to 'Rabbit Proof Fence’. 

He has given presentations to audiences ranging from local community and naturalist groups to university students, plus radio features, keynote addresses and a TEDx talk. He is the president of the Australian Wildlife Sound Recording Group, and on the board of the Australian Forum for Acoustic Ecology.
