Our Founder's Story
Co-Founder, Martyn Stewart – born and raised in Birmingham, England - has been a world-leading sound recordist since 1975, recording in over 60 countries and capturing over 3500 species of birds, countless insects, amphibians and mammals.
He has made it his life's mission to record the world one species at a time. The collection currently contains over 30,000 hours of nature sounds and soundscapes, more than 90,000 individual sounds and as many intimate stories from the natural world
Nature Sounds on Tour
We believe in the power of partnership to achieve shared goals. We have worked with world leading organisations incl. United Nations Live / BBC / Apple / Natural History Museum UK / Gardens by the Bay to get Nature Sounds out into the world.
Our Mission
Each location in every corner of our planet is home to thousands of different species. Each with its own orchestra and chorus. Each with a melodic and rhythmic sound signature that tells its own unique story and all performed in their own remarkable and awe-inspiring ways.
SOUND is how the natural world is able to speak to us.
It is a language, however, that many of us have long since forgotten and yet its call has never been more urgent.
We're on a mission to create more advocates for our Natural World –through the power of sound. Giving a voice to the seemingly voiceless and awaken a connection I believe lives deep inside all of us.
