Nature Sounds Society 12:15-1:15
Listen to bird songs from around the state in an Immersive audio experience with acoustic
ecologist Dan Dugan. Techno wizard Dugan will also give a quick survey of nature recording
equipment and a brief ear training exercise.
Participants will learn to recognize the songs of specific birds, as well as the elements of a
natural soundscape and the basics of nature sound recording while listening to soundscapes
from parks and wildlife preserves all over California, including Muir Woods, Lava Beds, the
Central Valley, Joshua Tree, and Yosemite.
Dan Dugan started his career as a theatrical lighting designer, then switched to sound. In 1968,
he was the first person to be credited as a “Sound Designer.” Dugan invented the automatic
microphone mixer in 1974, and in 2020 received an Emmy for his contribution to television.
Dugan has been a technical advisor to the Nature Sounds Society for over thirty years and is a
board member. He has published six relaxation CD’s of nature sounds with
naturemusicdownload.com and a full-length dawn chorus from Mariposa Grove in Yosemite
with listeningearth.com.
