Fernand Deroussen is an audio-naturalist. A little-known profession, practiced by only a few people in France. The “1:15 p.m. on Saturday” teams take you to the heart of nature, to discover this profession.
The song of birds, the sound of the rain, the murmur of insects… Listening to nature is the job of Fernand Deroussen, one of the very few audio-naturalists in France.
“Behind each sound of nature there is an animal, an event, a landscape, a place, an era and all this constitutes ‘the great symphony of life‘”, he writes on his Naturo-phonia website.
The man who makes the earth sing
“Audio-naturalist art is above all an emotion, that of contemplating the living”, says Fernand Deroussen. The teams of “1:15 p.m. on Saturday” (X, #1:15 p.m.) followed him to his workplace, in the heart of nature, in search of new sounds.
The man who makes the earth sing is a real star: his albums are a hit on audio platforms or in specialized nature stores. They have already sold more than a million copies.
