Gordon Hempton is an acclaimed nature sound recordist who has produced more than 60 albums of natural soundscapes. His work has been recognized by the American Museum of Natural History, The National Endowment for the Arts, The Rolex Awards for Enterprise, and the Charles A. Lindbergh Fund. He resides at the edge of Olympic National Park, where he is attempting to establish the world’s first sanctuary for silence, One Square Inch.
