Hi there. I’m George Vlad and I record sounds. I founded Mindful Audio back in 2014 so I could share my recordings with sound editors and designers. 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.

Since you’re here, feel free to browse my sound effects catalog. Buying my sound effects libraries helps me travel and record more. Not to mention you will own some unique content that will greatly aid you in your game audio, sound editing or sound design work!
