Introduction

Gordon Hempton has spent his entire career trying to answer that question. He travels the world looking for natural soundscapes that are free from human caused sounds. We're going to play a few of Gordon's field recordings, but I don't want you to just hear them. I want you to listen to them. Grab a pair of headphones and find a quiet place where you can focus. And for the next 10 minutes, let yourself melt into the sounds of nature.
