A SOUND TELLS YOU MORE THAN A THOUSAND WORDS

20 years ago I work in the recording and divulgation of nature's sounds. I studied with the curator of the neotropical sound archive, Jacques Vielliard, at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil.

I am currently a contributor to the sound collection Macaulay Library, the most important nature sounds library in the world.

In February 2014 I was the winner of the first edition of the SuperBrains program - broadcasted by the National Geographic channel - for my ability to identify birds by their songs.

I have published more than 15 works portraying the sounds of birds in the Americas. I have also lectured and taught courses in various conferences focused on nature in general, nature tourism, and birds in particular.

An event that marked my career was to be invited to Cornell University, in New York (United States), where I offered a conference entitled "A World of Sounds" in which sound landscapes of the places where I recorded were protagonists with its emblematic sounds.

HIGHLIGHTS

SONORA

Sonora is a short film that explores how the senses are used to connect with the environment that surrounds us, starring Juan Pablo Culasso, a renowned bird watcher who lives in Colombia.

A QUÉ SUENAN TUS OJOS?

Juan Pablo was born without the ability to see. With great enthusiasm and an adventurous spirit he travels from Sao Paulo (Brazil) to the Colombian Amazon to encounter the unknown and unusual; without fear of anything he faces great challenges.

BIRDWATCHING FOR BLIND OR VISUALLY IMPAIRED PEOPLE

In Colombia, birding while blind is possible thanks to a tourism project

Nothing FOR us without us

SERVICES

The common denominator of all my work is accessibility AND inclusion

CONSULTANCY IN TOURISM AND CONSERVATION

Why is it important for your business, hotel, lodge, restaurant or nature reserve to be inclusive and accessible? Why is it important to preserve the natural sound heritage? I can advise you. I specialize in accessible tourism with emphasis on nature-based tourism, cultural tourism, luxury tourism and gastronomic tourism; as well as environmental conservation through the preservation of sounds and their relationship with the landscape.  

In order for your destination or services to be enjoyed by a wider audience, it must have accessibility.

BIRD AUDIOGUIDES

An audio bird guide portrays the sounds of the birds of a country, a region, or just the birds that occur in a forest. In my career I have recorded many species of birds, mainly in Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay and Colombia.

SOUNDSCAPES

A soundscape allows you to get to know a place in a relaxing way. Sound sensations cause peace and tranquility. Over the years I have recorded countless sunrises, sunsets, nights ... sounds that will make your stress level drop.

SOUND EDITION

Preparing dialogues, restoring old recordings, mixing sounds for a telephone exchange ... Those are some examples of what I do, always with the highest levels of technology so that the result of the work is of the highest quality.

ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY

Programs for iOS, OSX or Android operating systems?

In order for your application to be used by a wider audience, it must have accessibility.

speaker

I grew up in an environment where self-learning and excellence are, more than a priority, a necessity. I am a Lecturer on Natural Sound Heritage Conservation issues; Sound Recording and Editing; Diversity, Accessibility and Inclusion; Inclusive Tourism; Birdwatching; Birds and Soundscapes. I love connecting people with other possible realities, inviting reflection and paradigm shift.
