The art of capturing hyperrealistic animal sounds with Mattia Cellotto

Today I’m excited to welcome Mattia Cellotto, a passionate field recordist and sound designer whose love for audio starts at the source: recording. With over 10 years of experience creating highly respected sound libraries, Mattia has built a reputation for deeply understanding the raw materials of sound and transforming them into powerful creative tools. His latest release, Animal Hyperrealism Vol. IV, continues a celebrated series, capturing many ultra-detailed animal vocalisations recorded at 192kHz — perfect for creative soundwork!

Alongside his library work, he’s contributed sound design to major titles like Battlefield V and Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, as well as commercials for brands like Google and Nickelodeon.
