Ecoacoustics

Welcome to Mad Composer Lab (MCL), where we explore the fascinating world of sound ecology. We study the intricate relationship between humans and their environment through the lens of sound. Our Acoustic Sound Installations offer unique artistic experiences, while the data we collect fuels scientific research into the phenomena of sound.

Join Operation SoundCheck, our initiative to gather and archive sounds for both creative and scientific exploration. Beyond data collection, SoundCheck sparks vital conversations and action around our changing climate. Interested in contributing? We invite you to join our Sound Ecology team in Portland, Joshua Tree, or Anchorage. Research expeditions are made possible by the generous support of MCL Operation SoundCheck patrons
