BIRD song reaches each ear a little differently, but have you ever wondered what all that warbling was about? Back in the Goulburn Valley by popular demand, author and nature sound recordist, Andrew Skeoch will visit the Mooroopna Library on Thursday, March 6 at 6pm, with an enlightening discussion of how to identify bird species by call and interpret their communications.
Andrew will guide the audience into hearing the languages of nature, developing auditory awareness, identifying species by ear, and recognising behaviours and repertoire. Andrew’s presentation will be accompanied by vibrant recordings and spectrogram analysis that show the beauty of birdsong. With insights into how our ecosystems work and how we can relate to them, you will hear the environment around you in an entirely new way.
Andrew’s label Listening Earth has published over one hundred recordings featuring habitats from most continents, which allow listeners to immerse themselves in soundscapes. His recordings have contributed to films, including Peter Gabriel’s soundtrack to Phillip Noyce’s Rabbit Proof Fence, Disney’s 2016 remake of The Jungle Book, and Force of Nature with Eric Bana.
Andrew visited Goulburn Valley Libraries last year and was so popular that a return visit was needed. You can hear Andrew speak at the Mooroopna Library on Thursday, March 6 at 6pm.
Bookings are preferred and can be made on the Goulburn Valley Libraries website under the events tab, by emailing mooroopna@gvlibraries.com or calling 1300 374 765.
Andrew will have copies of his book Deep Listening to Nature available to purchase at the event.
