This article is a really interesting overview of the push for Denali National Park (in Alaska) to inventory the acoustic environment, and, its methods to collec...t relevant information on the acoustic environment. "In the absence of readily-available commercial products for acoustic monitoring, the NPS has led the way for land management agencies by developing an autonomous system that can provide both American National Standards Institute (ANSI) certified acoustic levels (i.e., numeric measurements of sound pressure level in decibel units,) and audio recordings (i.e., sound that one can listen back to in headphones.)"

Happy Birthday, Murray Schafer!!

Happy World Listening Day! #WLD2020 World Listening Day is an annual global event held every July 18. This year's theme, created by Wild Sanctuary Vice Presiden...t Katherine Krause is "The Collective Field." Current times have asked each of us, individually and in concert, to retreat, reflect, and rethink the world we thought we knew, but how do we respond? Energizing this shared global experience holds gifts of rejuvenation. Respect this momentary silence but glean what it yields. The Collective Field invites you to express your recent journey through what was, what is, and what will be, evoked only by wandering into new territory. Stay silent until you know. Then speak. Share. Perform. How have you been transformed? We are all in the woods of a new age, and we’re listening to the future. Since its inception in 2010, thousands of people from six continents have participated in World Listening Day. July 18th is the birth date of renowned Canadian composer, music educator, and author, R. Murray Schafer. His World Soundscape Project developed the fundamental ideas and practices of acoustic ecology in the 1970s. These inform the current, burgeoning interest in our changing acoustic environment. Thus, World Listening Day honours Schafer’s contribution to understanding our world.

Listen! Tomorrow June 5, (it seems to be my birthday) I will publish my first selection of composed and live mixed "sensescapes in the pandemic" on Bandcamp; i...nspired by the changed sound habitat with sometimes disruptive transparencies...I've used the field recordings in the Amsterdam region I contributed to the "soundscapes in the pandemic" project on aporee.org: sounds from the Dam square, (homeless) stereo musicians, applause for the health workers, lots of birds in clean air, the terrible missed sounds of the exhibition spaces, etc. And composed multi layered sensescapes with disruptive transparency, (non)musical ominous, alarming, also promising instrumental sounds added live mixed with use of ewe and Ipad. Here is the preview of the album, tracks inlay. Hope you to hear from you and appreciate it when you listen, buy and or become a follower! Ricardo See more
