"My lifelong passion for sound and nature inspired every feature in this app"

Heather Spence

Heather Spence

Marine Biologist & Sound Artist with a PhD in bioacoustics. Featured by National Geographic and National Academy of Sciences. Over 200k soundscapes recorded.

From my earliest days, I've been captivated by the intricate sounds of the natural world and the endless possibilities they offer for creative expression. Over the years, I've dedicated myself to exploring how field recordings and environmental soundscapes can transform the way we experience and create music. My journey has taken me from remote wilderness locations, capturing the subtle rhythms of nature, to collaborating with artists and technologists to develop innovative tools for music composition.

Through hands-on experimentation and a deep commitment to both science and art, I've developed a unique process that blends active listening, technical skill, and creative intuition. I believe that anyone can unlock new musical ideas by tuning into the world around them and learning to shape those sounds into meaningful compositions.

This app is the culmination of my experience—designed to guide you step-by-step through the process of recording, interpreting, and composing with nature's sounds. Every feature is built to help you discover your own voice, break through creative blocks, and connect more deeply with your environment.

My hope is that this app not only teaches you new skills, but also inspires you to listen more closely, create more boldly, and share your unique perspective with the world.
