Wind in the trees, chirping sparrows, a clicking cicada, and my crunchy footsteps beneath me. What am I listening to? How am I listening? When it comes to learning about ecosystems through the sounds they make, soundscape ecology listens in a particular way. Problem is, there's a lot that comes in between the ecosystem and the way we hear it. If we want to better understand how ecosystems change through comparing their soundscapes, we need to reattune ourselves to the world of soundscape ecology and find out what it really means to listen.

4. Why Does It Matter?
A soundscape can be our connection to the dynamics of living and non-living entities within an ecosystem. We’ve spent some time thinking about how listening works, how recordings shape our knowledge of ecosystems, but what if there’s a bigger moral to the story? Soundscape ecology doesn’t just have to be about collecting data, but it can be a strategy for how to think and listen ecologically. In this final episode, Lou speaks with the ecologists, and artist Nik Forrest to tie the listen...

3. What's In A Position?
Take a minute to listen to what’s around you. Now, turn 180 degrees and see if the world sounds the same. Your proximity to sounds changes the way you hear them. Yet at the same time, what your listening focus latches onto seems to happen automatically. Where does that come from and why does it happen? We all listen differently, and this episode is meant to dive deep into why that might be. Lou does some field recording, more interviewing and lots of hiking to think about where his list...

2. What Is Soundscape Ecology?
An ecosystem never truly makes the same sounds twice. All soundscapes are unique, and within them are hidden universes of information that can tell us who is living within the ecosystem, and how well they are thriving. For decades, ecologist Bernie Krause has been been working on taxonomies of ecosystem sounds to better understand how a soundscape recording can help determine the overall health of an ecosystem and its biodiversity. In a time when these ecosystems are starting to fade in...
