Environmental Recording

Capturing the ambient sound of specific locations is an important aspect of the GSM project. This enables us to preserve these unique sonic landscapes, whilst providing an extensive sound archive of specific locations throughout the world.

Coastal recordings are of interest to the GSM as natural tidal rhythms provides a constant movement whilst describing the weather conditions.

The relationship between nature and industry is often documented through these recordings, where the distant sound of shipping yards or power stations form part of the location’s unique soundtrack.
