The nature recording artist, Skeoch, has enjoyed a stellar thirty-year career that has taken him from his hometown of Sydney to travelling and documenting the sounds of iconic landscapes and endangered habitats all around the world.
“I spent my childhood years exploring the northern suburbs of Sydney enthralled by nature and animals and the sounds they both make,” Skeoch told The Free Press
Together with his partner, photographer, Sarah Koschak, he has established a music label called ‘Listening Earth’ to publish and sell his nature sound recordings.
Skeoch believes there is much to be gained from listening to nature with your ears as opposed to the visual and analytical approaches we often rely on instead.
“Think of how important sound is to us, we communicate with it, we create music, we listen to each other, sound is our way of connecting to each other. Sound is used by nature in so many ways,” he said
As an author of the audiobook ‘Deep Listening to Nature’, Skeoch is looking forward to sharing his experiences with the people of Corowa.
“In this presentation I will be using various technologies to narrate and display the audio and visual elements nature is renowned for. My aim is to leave the Corowa audience with a deeper understanding of nature and how to interpret the unique sound it emits.”
This event is presented by the Corowa Library with support from Corowa District Landcare and will be held at Corowa Art Space on Wednesday July 10 at 5:00pm.
The event is free and visit the Riverina Regional Library website for further information.
