In honor of World Climate Day, Dolby Laboratories has released a unique album that pays homage to seven endangered natural sounds from around the world. The album features a musical score by composer Nainita Desai and was created in collaboration with wildlife sounds technician Chris Watson.
The Seven Sonic Wonders album aims to connect listeners with the beauty of nature and raise awareness of endangered natural sounds. Dolby Laboratories chose the sounds based on criteria such as ecological importance, geographical location, and historical heritage. The album was mixed by Kurt Martinez to create a deeper connection between listeners and Mother Nature.
Royalties from the album will go to the charity EarthPercent, which supports organizations with a significant impact in the fight against climate change. Wildlife sounds technician Chris Watson expressed his excitement to work on the project, hoping to transport listeners to the heart of these natural wonders through the power of sound.
Dolby Atmos technology was used to enhance the listening experience and take listeners on an immersive journey through the sounds of nature. Each track captures a unique sound from around the world, including the Vatnajokull glacier in Iceland, the dawn chorus of Lake Suvasvesi in Finland, and the song of a humpback whale in the Caribbean Sea, among others.
The Seven Sonic Wonders album is not only a celebration of nature’s beauty but also a call for action against climate change. By raising awareness about endangered natural sounds, Dolby Laboratories hopes to inspire listeners to take action and protect these precious resources for future generations.
Overall, this unique album is sure to transport you on an unforgettable journey through some of nature’s most beautiful and endangered sounds.
