Sounds of Maine is an ongoing audiovisual project documenting the sounds and sights of Maine. Its goal is to enable moments of vicarious travel, meditation, and immersion in this state's endlessly intriguing natural and manmade spaces.

Our goal is to release about a dozen soundscapes each season.

Sounds of Maine is created and managed by David Bruggink. If you benefit from this project, consider supporting it on Patreon.
