If you would like to learn how you can support conservation in Madagascar, please visit. Currently, over 90 percent of Madagascar’s native forests have been destroyed for agriculture, and they are still being cut down today. In just a few more years, it is entirely possible that some of the voices in this collection will have been extinguished forever. Please watch Remixing Madagascar to meet them and experience their amazing work. Special thanks are due to all the members of my team, from the United States and Madagascar, who helped make this work possible. That I can be a vehicle for those voices, and bring them into your homes and lives, is an honor and a privilege. Each of the voices you will hear in this collection has been shaped by millions of years of evolution to resonate and balance with other acoustic elements in its environment, and communicate critical signals for animals to survive. ![]() Madagascar was my first expedition to capture my own sounds for later use in music, and when I met my subjects in their natural habitats I was astounded by how profound it was to sit immersed in nature, and simply to absorb the voices of my surroundings. As a musician, I record and sample sounds from nature into electronic music and perform at concert venues to promote conservation around the world. On a personal note, working in Madagascar was the first time I truly fell in love with the art of field recording. To learn more about my work, visit or follow me on Instagram.

This is MADA, a collection of audio recordings I captured during my 2016 expedition to Madagascar.
