JAMES LUTZ

SOUND DESIGN

Capturing the authentic sounds of the natural world is one of my greatest passions. Audio’s natural ability in influence the emotions of an audience creates the perfect platform for storytelling before a single word is spoken.

from the cliffs of Tasmania to the volcanic vents of iceland, I have captured sounds from across the world for use in creative projects.

My recordings have been used in documentaries, short films, music albums, and fitness videos. In addition I have released several compilations of recordings from around the world into the creative commons for free use. bringing people closer to the natural world brings me joy.

MY FIELD RECORDING KIT IS DESIGNED FOR MAXIMUM MOBILITY WITHOUT COMPROMISING FIDELITY. MY GOAL IS TO BRING THE AUTHENTIC SOUNDS OF YOUR CREATIVE STORY TO LIFE.
