SOUNDSCAPES

Soundscapes is a new project I have recently started where I film 4K and 8K videos of natural and urban backgrounds combined with immersive sounds of the surrounding ambience. Field recording and filming beautiful landscape scenes at the same time is a challenging yet rewarding endeavor for any photographer or filmmaker. The ability to capture the stunning visuals of a natural environment while simultaneously recording the ambient sounds creates a truly immersive experience for the audience.


Incorporating field recording into landscape filming allows for the preservation of not only the visual beauty of a location but also the intricate audio details that often go unnoticed. The gentle rustling of leaves, the distant calls of wildlife, or the soothing flow of a nearby stream add depth and authenticity to the visual narrative, enhancing the overall viewing experience.
The process of simultaneous field recording and filming requires attention to detail and a deep understanding of the natural environment. Careful consideration must be given to equipment selection, placement, and settings to ensure that both the visual and auditory elements are captured in high quality. Wind shields and specialized microphones are often utilized to minimize unwanted environmental noise and capture the desired sounds with clarity.

The first soundscape video I filmed is from my hometown in Rome, Italy during an autumn rainy walk. I'll take you along Castel Sant'Angelo, passing through Piazza Navona and the Pantheon during beautiful foliage and Christmas lights. You can watch and hear exactly what I witnessed letting you teleport to this incredible city.
