Stijn Demeulenaere after a particularly grueling day in the field - Sumatra, 2023. That expedition was one of the most challenging we've been on, but the sounds we captured in those rainforests are worth all the effort, sweat, insect bites, disease etc.

New recording from sound artist and field recordist Gina Lo ✨

Part 1 of a long, but delightful conversation with Mel from @earth-fm.bsky.social is out today. It started in typical interview format, but when two like-minded ADHD folks sit down to talk, all bets are off. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
