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. The sad story is that some of these are already extinct or will go extinct without knowing. #listen #soundscape #soundscapeecology #lifesound #bird #birdsound #birdsong #Fieldrecording #naturesound #worldsound #birdspecies #extinction #naturepreservation #environment #environmentalsound #senses #mindful #preservation #listening #birding

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

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!
