What we recorded
This unprecedented library was accomplished over two decades of repeated visits to Maui, Kauai, Oahu, and the Big Island. The distance from Hawaii to the closest mainland is 2,285 miles, making it the most isolated islands in the world, enough distance to allow a vast array of endemic species to evolve, particularly birds. Also the life underwater is a sonic wonderland, particularly the evocative, seemingly mystical songs of the Humpback Whale.
About Gordon Hempton - the Sound Tracker®

Environmental activist & Emmy-Winner
All of the nature sounds in the QUIET PLANET Nature SFX series were recorded by Gordon Hempton, The Sound Tracker®, Emmy-winner, author of One Square Inch of Silence, and environmental activist. Faced with habitat loss, species extinction and most of all unbridled noise pollution, Hempton has now turned his attention towards saving the world’s few remaining natural amphitheaters.
The highest appreciation for mother earth's voice
Gordon Hempton cares very deeply about quiet. As The Sound Tracker® he has circled the globe three times over the last 35 years in pursuit of Earth’s rarest nature sounds — sounds which can only be fully appreciated in the absence of manmade noise.
