Heart in Nature: Reconnecting with Wild Landscapes through Sound By Naoba Uuchul

Abstract

Heart in Nature is a pioneering research platform blending bioacoustics and psychoacoustics to explore sound's transformative potential. Through a wide array of offerings-albums, meditations, nature excursions, deep listening workshops, auditory system and perception masterclasses, streaming events, performances, an app for healing the nervous system through circadian rhythm regulation, the Web3 Sound Temple, and plans for a real-life temple-it creates spaces where music and listeners converge. Bioacoustics studies sound production, dispersion, and reception in animals, including humans, focusing on its role in communication and behavior. Psychoacoustics examines how sound is perceived and its psychological effects on the human mind and body. Together, these disciplines underpin Heart in Nature's mission to harness the healing and consciousness expansion power of sound.
