#PatrickFranke<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With a background in sound art, Patrick Franke has established himself as a leading wildlife sound recordist over the past decades. His work is characterized by a systematic approach to acoustic data collection, analogous to specimen-based collections in natural history museums. His archive comprises more than 30,000 catalogued recordings. The integration of this archive into the publicly accessible Macaulay Library<\/a> is currently in progress. Patrick Franke is a co-founder of the Bioacoustics Working Group of the German Ornithological Society<\/a>, as well as the Finch Research Network<\/a>, where he also serves as a board member. Clemens Pitschke is an acoustical engineer and former sound engineer. #PatrickFranke With a background in sound art, Patrick Franke has established himself as a leading wildlife sound recordist over the past decades.

Franke began leading wildlife sound recording and Bioacoustics workshops in 2007, most recently also for the Cornell Lab of Ornithology<\/a>.
In 2023, he organized the first Singwarte sound recording expedition to Mongolia, followed by two regional field meetings in Germany. Franke regularly gives talks on ornithology, bioacoustics, and nature conservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since 2024, Franke has served as Vice Chairman of the Wildlife Sound Recording Society<\/a>.
His research interests focus on biogeography and the development of song in passerines (oscines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
#ClemensPitschke<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Building on his background and sustained interest in acoustics, audio technology, and sound recording, he has increasingly engaged with the disciplines of Bioacoustics and Ecoacoustics in recent years. Through workshops and lectures Pitschke is actively establishing his profile within these fields. In 2023 he was part of the Singwarte Mongolian Sound Expedition<\/em>.
In 2021, he co-founded the multi-disciplinary sound exploration project Land.Schafft.Sound.<\/a> within which he has organized and led workshops, as well as invited experts from diverse domains \u2013 including conservation, science, and music \u2013 who are engaged in sound recording practices.
Through his work, he aims to foster education, facilitate knowledge exchange, and contribute to conservation and citizen science initiatives by means of sound-based approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
