We are proud to have released over 50 albums of pure nature soundscapes - taking you from the Okavanga Delta to the Daintree National Forest, from Belize to Borneo to the Sierra Nevadas to the Arctic Wildlife Refuge. From his first recording of a Eurasian blackbird as a boy, Martyn's motivation has been singular: to use sound as a megaphone for vulnerable places and animals. By releasing a free collection of his most prized recordings to the public, he is optimistic those listening will feel closer to foreign species and environments, and feel motivated to act. “I hope they have the connection between sound and the animal emitting the sound.” “I think we have to become the voice of the voiceless. If we can get these beautiful sound recordings out and let people in the world listen to them, maybe we can start protecting what we've got left.”

On April 18th 2024, The Museum for the United Nations - UN Live announced the launch of Sounds Right - a new global music initiative that enables nature to generate conservation funding from her own sounds. Launched in the lead up to Earth Day, the initiative aims to spark a global conversation about the value of nature and support millions of music fans to take meaningful action to protect our planet. The Listening Planet are founding partners and released a series of ecosystem soundscapes in support.

Based on Glyn’s song I Am the Earth, the story unfolds through spoken word, music, song and Martyn Stewart’s sound recordings, as the listener is invited into the lives of eight children across the world, catching a glimpse of their relationship with Nature at one small moment in time. As they climb a tree in the Amazon rainforest, swim in a waterhole in the Australian desert or gaze up at the Aurora Borealis, each child comes to know the song of the place they inhabit – the songs of Nature as captured in Martyn’s recordings. The story transforms from the personal to the universal, as the children, and the Earth itself, come together as one to sing I Am the Earth. One Earth One people This moment in time We share

In celebration of World Mental Health Day on October 10 2021, The Listening Planet partnered with Mädchen Amick's direct impact non-profit Mental Health Foundation ‘dontMiNDme’ to bring a blend of unique nature sounds from around the world in combination with mindful meditation journeys. Our narrators for our five albums include Mädchen Amick and her close friends; Kyle MacLachlan, Maggie Wheeler, Nathalie Boltt, Mädchen Amick said, “When mental illness hit our family a decade ago we dedicated ourselves to seeking out and sharing with others the most holistic ways to care for our mental wellbeing. I invite you to immerse yourself in the beauty of our precious planet while caring for your mental health.” All proceeds will be distributed between Amick’s dontMiNDme Foundation and Stewart’s The Listening Planet Foundation. All episodes will be available in Dolby Atmos, providing industry leading, multidimensional sound quality. The dontMiNDme Foundation was created in 2021 by Mädchen Amick and her family out of a fervent determination to end the stigma and discrimination surrounding mental illness and unite all existing and future efforts, in order to have a DIRECT IMPACT on the lives of those most urgently in need of care.
