These past months I've been closer to elephants th These past months I've been closer to elephants than ever before. I learned a lot about these magnificent beings. Having stayed in Asia for 2 years, and exploring Africa lately, I can clearly see how much different are African and Asian elephants. Their palette of sounds is quite different as well. I feel blessed to be able to discover and explore these giants. @elephantlovers @elephant @animallover @fieldrecording @soundexploration
Hello, I am trying something new: a narrated audio Hello, I am trying something new: a narrated audio from my latest blog post.

It is kind of a guided walk of my sound journey, exploring the underground world of Gua Tempurung cave!

What do you think of this format? Do you like it? Or not?

This is also being published on my new podcast feed. 

(I had to cut the audiogram in 3 parts due to the limitations of ig) 

The original post can be seen on my blog: soundxplorer.com

Throwback 2021 #4: Spain & Canary Islands. I staye Throwback 2021 #4: Spain & Canary Islands.
I stayed more than 2 months at the end of 2021 in different parts of Spain: València, Alicante, Granada, Malaga, and then in Gran Canaria & Tenerife on the Canary islands.
This allowed me to improve my Spanish language skills & to escape the cold winter by going more South at each steps.
I discovered more of the Spanish culture & andalusia.

I explored for the first time the Canary Islands. I have to say these are bigger islands than I thought and they are very marked by their geolical feature, originating from volcanic activities.
I also was blessed to stay 1 week with my parents there.
The Canaries is a place that has one of the best weather in the world all year round, neither too hot nor too cold. This is why so many tourist or expats go there. On the other hand the fauna and flora is not extremely rich but the variety in the topography creates pockets of micro-climates which makes the islands quite interesting.
Sound wise I was able to record some animals, natural ambiences, and urban ambiences. I also had a gun session at a shooting range.

Gracias España, hasta luego!
Throwback 2021 #3: Ukraine, Romania & France. In J Throwback 2021 #3: Ukraine, Romania & France.
In July, I came back to Europe, first by kyev, then I went through Lviv & Chernivtsi, I stayed 1 month in Brasov where I could get vaccinated which allowed me to visit my family in France, where I stayed 1 month too near my hometown in Montpellier. Without  covid restrictions I probably would not have made that much zigzag. In any case it was well worth exploring these places.
Throwback2021 #2: Sri Lanka. I wandered for 3 mont Throwback2021 #2: Sri Lanka.
I wandered for 3 month in this country from April to July.
I arrived with the purpose of recording bats for a side project but ended up finding many more subjects to record.
I had such a thrilling time there even with few lockdowns. I discovered a country with myriads of treasures, rich history, intertwined with lush tropical biodiversity, deep spirituality, and heartwarming kindness. I could find many animals and interesting soundscapes for my recordings.
It certainly was one of the highlight of this year!
Before the new year, I'm gonna post some throwback Before the new year, I'm gonna post some throwback memories of countries I have visited this year! 
Starting with Malaysia, where I stayed until April (after 13 months in the country). This country is genuinely amazing with a mix of modern and tradition, along with many diverse ethnicities. The lush and dense Nature brings life in many forms everywhere.
I wandered for months through the peninsula with my motorbike and it was one of the best experience I had. Right now I am still learning the language bahasa Melayu.
I can't wait to come back, and explore more on this region and neighbouring countries.
Tak lama lagi kami akan jumpa lagi Malaysia!
Merry Christmas from Mount Sinai (Mount of Moses) Merry Christmas from Mount Sinai (Mount of Moses) in Sinai peninsula (Egypt) !
Although I did not capture many interesting sounds (apart from the camels), I had such a holy experience stepping up onto such a sacred place!
This Mount is considered to be the place where Moses received the 10 commandments centuries ago, but also the place where the prophet Musa spoke to his Lord.

May all of my friend have a healthy and joyful end of the year 🙏💐🎅🎉❣️

Some new studies find out there could be up to 180 Some new studies find out there could be up to 18000 species of birds, more than the 10000 previously estimated. It's hard to estimate precisely as there are many subspecies.

How fast does time fly? Already 14 years ago this How fast does time fly? Already 14 years ago this pic was taken. I have great memories of the studio S Recording where we had so much projects going on. I learned a ton by doing and experimenting. I am so grateful to my family and friends who supported and encouraged me in this crazy adventure at that time. Building a studio and creating a business from scratch was a blast and a decisive endeveor in my life. I would not have predicted what the future would look like, innocent as I was. I indeed enjoyed recording and manipulating sounds every day. So much happened since then, I feel I lived 3 different lives but at the same time I might not have started my real life, still so much more to live... #flashback #studio #recording #soundstudio #soundlibrary #independentsfx #sounddesign #audioengineer #studiorat

Am I still citizen of Montreal?! During 8 years, I Am I still citizen of Montreal?! During 8 years, I lived in this city and I still officially reside there but I haven't spent more than 3 months there for the last 3 years. Throughout my stay in the city, I recorded the sounds of many places at various time of the year. Unlike Malaysia, all seasons are very marked and different. The sound library 'Montreal 365' is probably one of the most comprehensive city library that exists out there. I am very proud of this project, the recordings are very diverse and interesting. Have a listen, dive in the soundscapes of Montréal. #fieldrecording

It will allow  not to forget thoughts and experiences I live. I will write everyday but won't post everyday on social media about it. Just this one, because it's the first entry. I hopefully will follow unlike other initiatives I couldn't follow up with. This one seems the closest to my daily routine. https://soundxplorer.com/journal-entry-day-1

My hate/love relationship with technology is popin My hate/love relationship with technology is poping up on my mind lately. 
Has technology completely derived us from our true Nature?
But has technology also become the first vector of our reconnection with our environment? 
I am still tortured and amazed at the same time by our progresses.
Here in the world's oldest rainforest I hear no noise, only sounds.
The noble beauty of this art is that I don't have to steal them to able to bring them back with me! I feel so bless!
