Sound research & bioacoustics

Heart in Nature

For nine years I have recorded rainforests, rivers and volcanoes through Heart in Nature. I study how sound moves through the body and the nervous system, and I turn those recordings into tools you can play.

The research

Psychoacoustics

How the ear and brain turn vibration into feeling. The heart of my Master's in Sound Art.

Bioacoustics

The voices of living ecosystems, recorded and archived from Central America.

3D sound

Binaural and ambisonic environments for installations, planetariums and headphones.

Play with these sounds
