A conversation with sound recordist Matt Mikkelsen.

In this conversation, Matt Mikkelsen and I go deep into the woods and deep into how important silence is in particular, to not only our planet's survival but also to our own. Matt is one of those rare individuals that is blessed to spend more time outside in nature, than in an office in front of a computer screen.

Matt is a sound recordist, audio engineer, and documentary filmmaker based out of Jackson, Wyoming. His clients include Skywalker Sound, Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon, and his work has been featured on NPR's All Things Considered. Matt also serves as the Executive Director of Wilderness Quiet Parks for Quiet Parks International.

Matt mentioned several parks in the course of our conversation and Quiet Parks International and information about those can be found here:
