Hi there. I’m George Vlad and I record sounds. I founded Mindful Audio back in 2014 so I could share my recordings with anyone who would enjoy listening to them. I like to focus on pristine natural soundscapes free from human influence, of which there are less and less every day.

My quest to escape man-made noise takes me to remote and sometimes inhospitable parts of the world. This is more than fine with me as I love exploring and I don’t shy away from a bit of adventure. Check out my blog for expedition reports and equipment reviews.

Over the years I’ve had the privilege to be involved in some pretty amazing projects, from Dune part 2 and Mufasa the Lion King to Horizon Forbidden West, Wordscapes and many others. More info on my credits page.
